Original Note:

McKernan’s claims are not supported by any scientific consensus. Residual DNA in vaccines is inconsequential and does not pose a cancer risk. Kevin McKernan is a microbiologist with genomic experience. The claims made are w/o evidence and are false. https://healthfeedback.org/authors/kevin-mckernan/ https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/scicheck-covid-19-vaccines-have-not-been-shown-to-alter-dna-cause-cancer/ https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2023/are-covid-19-mrna-shots-adulterated-contaminated-off-market/ https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2023/06/fact-check-no-substantial-evidence-green-monkey-dna-found-in-pfizer-moderna-mrna-covid19-vaccines.html https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-covid-mrna-vaccines-wont-damage-your-dna1/ https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article283840483.html https://www.techarp.com/science/dna-mrna-vaccines-cancer/
