mRNA vaccines alter DNA

RecordOBS-0553
CategoryHealth/Vaccines
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryProponents claim that mRNA vaccines alter human genomes or DNA. This includes claims that the vaccine integrates into DNA or that mRNA vaccines are gene therapy.
OriginPersistent misinformation that has circulated since the rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
Claimed
  • mRNA vaccines alter human DNA.
  • mRNA vaccines are a form of gene therapy that changes your genes.
  • mRNA vaccines will be added to the food supply.
Evidence / consensusThe mRNA in vaccines cannot enter the cell nucleus and does not interact with or alter genetic material. mRNA vaccines are distinct from gene therapy.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
mRNA does not enter the nucleus, so it cannot integrate into DNA. The food supply claim is also false.
