Voices for Vaccines is reporting that claims suggesting DNA in vaccines can harm human DNA are virtually impossible due to the body's cellular protection. It explained that human DNA is stored in the nucleus, protected by multiple layers, including the cell's outer membrane and internal systems that destroy foreign substances. The organization said that even if foreign DNA entered a cell, it would need to bypass the nuclear membrane, which carefully regulates entry, making the chances of it reaching and altering human chromosomes extraordinarily small.
Voices for Vaccines also addressed claims that vaccine package inserts state vaccines are not tested for cancer, DNA changes or fertility impact. It clarified that federal regulations require drug and vaccine inserts to include a "Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility" section, which details long-term animal study information. The organization stated that vaccines and their ingredients are reviewed for these risks, and safety information from human studies is placed in other sections. It added that vaccines are continuously monitored after public use through several safety systems.
Furthermore, Voices for Vaccines debunked a claim by Peter McCullough that Ebola is used to scare people and prepare the market for vaccines. It noted McCullough's assertion that a World Health Organization-approved Ebola vaccine four weeks before an outbreak showed market preparation. The organization countered that the approved vaccine targets the Zaire strain of Ebola, while the current outbreak involves the Bundibugyo strain, which does not yet have an approved vaccine. It emphasized that Ebola is not a new disease, with many outbreaks since 1976, and vaccine development has been ongoing for years, making the timing claim much weaker.
