No, ‘monkey virus DNA’ was not found in COVID vaccines. The SV40 promoter, on its own can’t cause cancer. The part of SV40 that’s potentially cancer-causing, known as the T-antigen, isn’t present in the vaccine. There's no evidence of DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines. https://apnews.com/ap-fact-check/no-monkey-virus-dna-was-not-found-in-covid-vaccines-00000188e957d32da188e9ff1aef0000 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/jun/21/facebook-posts/no-the-covid-19-vaccines-dont-contain-monkey-virus/ https://www.respectfulinsolence.com/2023/06/06/return-of-the-revenge-of-vaccines-permanently-alter-your-dna/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1678071226458165249
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
