Here\u2019s how the data was collected: Scientists tested lipid nanoparticles on rats. These nanoparticles are like tiny packages that hold the mRNA used in the COVID vaccine. The scientists put a special label on these nanoparticles that allowed them to see where they went in the rats\u2019 bodies and how long they stayed there.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to clear up a misunderstanding about why\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41578-021-00358-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voicesforvaccines.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3De17a65409cd8f13ba7e58cc97%26id%3D102ac396ff%26e%3Dfc0735be13&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692988718745000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1aIXaTrAwcdxuGqPjFLsq0\">lipid nanoparticle<\/a>s were used. These lipid nanoparticles weren\u2019t chosen to make the vaccine release medicine slowly. Instead, they carry a small piece of genetic material called mRNA into our cells. This purpose is different than the slow release of medication that we are used to with other medications.<\/p>\n<p>When we look at the data, we see that most of the nanoparticles stayed where they were injected, and some went to the liver. Only very tiny amounts, less than 1%, went to other parts of the body, and in most places, it was even less than 0.1%. So, the claim that most of these nanoparticles spread throughout the body is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/healthfeedback.org\/claimreview\/covid-19-vaccines-dont-affect-ovaries-or-fertility-in-general-the-vaccines-are-highly-effective-at-preventing-illness-and-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voicesforvaccines.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3De17a65409cd8f13ba7e58cc97%26id%3D028687297b%26e%3Dfc0735be13&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692988718745000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1FJrNlluOAnb24Q67_46Dy\">not correct<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Also, in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scientistabe.wordpress.com\/2021\/05\/31\/sciences-pharmacokinetics-do-nano-particles-of-the-pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-cross-the-blood-brain-barrier-and-infect-your-brain-with-mrna-or-will-fritz-your-gonads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/voicesforvaccines.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u%3De17a65409cd8f13ba7e58cc97%26id%3D9990cdebbf%26e%3Dfc0735be13&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1692988718745000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3MHioMy5-54wa9iqsp0khA\">ovaries<\/a>, the highest amount of nanoparticles found was very, very small (only about 0.095% after 48 hours).
