| Status | DEBUNKED |
| Summary | A claim that COVID-19 mRNA vaccines alter or modify human DNA. This theory suggests the vaccine can change a person's genetic code, potentially leading to long-term health effects. It has been debunked by scientific consensus. |
| Origin | The theory emerged alongside the development of mRNA vaccines in 2020, fueled by misunderstandings of how mRNA technology works. |
| Claimed |
|
| Evidence / consensus | mRNA vaccines do not interact with or alter DNA. They instruct cells to produce a protein to trigger an immune response, and the mRNA is broken down and eliminated by the body. Scientific and health authorities confirm this. |
