In it, Dr. McCullough\u00a0says that one solution to “detox” against mRNA vaccines is to introduce small interfering RNA (siRNA), similar to mRNA along with\u00a0ribonuclease targeting chimeras (RIBOTACs)<\/p>\n

McCullough has\u00a0made multiple\u00a0claims<\/a>, including in his\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0below, that lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can cause injury and harm. Yet in his new procedure, both siRNA and RIBOTACs use lipid nanoparticles to enter the cells to target mRNA. If using lipids to allow siRNA and RIBOTACs to enter our cells is seen as safe, we can also assume the mRNA from vaccination is safe.<\/p>\n

McCullough thinks this procedure is necessary because of worries about how mRNA vaccines spread throughout the body.<\/p>\n

His idea about “systemic biodistribution” comes from\u00a0misconstrued\u00a0data<\/a>. A study in rats looked at lipid nanoparticles after mRNA vaccine injections and their distribution in organs over time.\u00a0The\u00a0data show that most of\u00a0the\u00a0nanoparticles stayed where they were injected, and some went to\u00a0the\u00a0liver. In\u00a0the\u00a0ovaries<\/a>,\u00a0the\u00a0highest amount of nanoparticles found was very, very small (only about 0.095% after 48 hours). This amount might be even smaller in human\u00a0ovaries\u00a0because\u00a0the\u00a0dose<\/a>\u00a0used in\u00a0the\u00a0COVID vaccine is much less than what they used in\u00a0the\u00a0rat study.<\/p>\n

Would this off-switch work? We doubt Dr. McCullough’s science very much, and it is unnecessary because while tiny amounts of mRNA\u00a0may<\/em>\u00a0persist in the body, the vast majority\u00a0usually degrades\u00a0within days<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
