COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines ‘Not Appropriate’ for Human Use: State Surgeon General
Florida’s surgeon general issued a call Wednesday for healthcare providers to stop utilizing Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines due to concerns about genetic contamination.
“Providers concerned about patient health risks associated with COVID-19 should prioritize patient access to non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment,” said Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo in a press statement. “It is my hope that, in regard to COVID-19, the FDA will one day seriously consider its regulatory responsibility to protect human health, including the integrity of the human genome.”
Florida public health officials and politicians have continued to be highly skeptical of mRNA vaccines, with 2024 presidential hopeful Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) saying in September that Floridians will not be used as “guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective.”
Following a Florida Health Department meeting in November, Lapado sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention inquiring about recent reports of foreign DNA material in Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. Ladapo said if the vaccine is “an efficient vehicle for delivery of the mRNA,” then it may be “an equally efficient vehicle for delivering contaminant DNA into human cells,” a process known as DNA integration.
FDA Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Peter Marks responded to Lapado’s letter on Dec. 14, saying the practical risk of such an occurrence is “quite implausible,” noting that animal studies over the past decade as well as the current global surveillance data on mRNA vaccines show no genotoxicity or genomic disruption.
