"Evelyn Griffin, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Louisiana who reportedly lost her job for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, meanwhile, did her own research and tried to suggest that the mRNA in mRNA vaccines could be turned into DNA inside human cells and integrate into our genetic material. She made this assertion to a scientist at Pfizer (a maker of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine), asking him to respond."
"RNA cannot reverse transcribe to DNA and transport from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and then integrate. That requires a set of molecules and enzymes that don't exist in humans and are largely reserved for retroviruses."
"At the very start of the meeting, liaisons from mainstream medical organizations pressed that the ACIP committee needs to ditch such anecdotal nonsense and unvetted data, and return to the high-quality framework for evidence-based decision-making that ACIP has used in the past, which involves comprehensive, methodical evaluations."
At an ACIP meeting, attendees raised anecdotal vaccine-safety claims, including a report of lung cancer occurring two years after vaccination and a claim that mRNA vaccines could convert to DNA and integrate into human genomes. A Pfizer scientist explained that RNA cannot reverse transcribe and integrate without retroviral enzymes not present in humans. Mainstream medical liaisons urged reliance on comprehensive, methodical evidence-based evaluations rather than unvetted anecdotes. Retsef Levi contested the existence of high-quality vaccine-safety trials and criticized calls for methodological rigor. A hot mic captured someone saying "You're an idiot," with the speaker unidentified.
