evidence: Officials have maintained that mRNA COVID vaccines do not alter our DNA, but a new case filed in the Federal Court of Australia raises difficult questions about how reliable this assurance is. Can COVID-19 vaccines alter my DNA? This question is posed on the Australian Government’s fact page about COVID vaccines. "No, COVID-19 vaccines do not alter your DNA," states the government advice. "DNA is stored in the protected centre of our cells – the nucleus. The mRNA is broken down quickly by the body. It never enters the nucleus, and cannot affect or combine with our DNA in any way to change our genetic code." [...] However, the TGA maintains that allegations put forward in the case about the potential for mRNA vaccines to alter the recipient’s DNA are unfounded. A spokesperson for the TGA told Umbrella News, "COVID-19 vaccines do not alter a person’s DNA. The mRNA in the vaccines does not enter the nucleus of cells and is not integrated into the human genome. Thus, the mRNA does not cause genetic damage or affect the offspring of vaccinated individuals."
