evidence: TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – On December 6, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo sent a letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), asking questions about a recent preprint documenting the detection of billions of DNA fragments per dose in the approved Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines; Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA was also found in Pfizer vials. In the letter, Dr. Ladapo points out that the vaccines use lipid nanoparticles to efficiently deliver mRNA into human cells, so the vaccines may be equally efficient at delivering the DNA contaminants into human cells. [...] Dr. Ladapo told Alachua Chronicle that this is primarily an ethical issue because evaluations of these risks are necessary precursors to the use of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. He continued, "The point of what we do is to bring honesty to insanity. There’s a pattern to the things that happened in the pandemic, and it’s crazy stuff that people want to pass off as sane and normal. A great example is this idea that somehow masking two- or three-year-olds does anything other than waste money, waste time, and annoy the kids." He said masking toddlers and distributing vaccines with billions of fragments of DNA in each dose are both "crazy." He emphasized that the research discovering these DNA contaminants has been duplicated by other scientists and acknowledged in communications from the FDA: "It’s truly insane for us to be using [these vaccines] without any sense of what those risks of integration are."
