DNA in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines is three-to-four times higher than regulatory limits according to a German study that called for the shots to be stopped.The peer-reviewed study published in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law, explains, “This far exceeds the maximal acceptable concentration of 10 ng per clinical dose that has been set by international regulatory authorities."The researchers also found simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA contaminants in the vaccines. They determined that spike proteins produced by the mRNA vaccines persist in the body for at at least seven days (not two as claimed by Pfizer) and are prone to shedding. These results “raise grave concerns” about mRNA vaccines, the study concluded, prompting the authors to call for “an immediate halt of all RNA biologicals.”Karl Jablonowski, Ph.D., senior research scientist at Children’s Health Defense, told The Defender that DNA contamination may be contributing to more autoimmune diseases among the vaccinated.“The immune system operates on very sensitive detections to initiate responses,” he said. “DNA suddenly deposited into your bloodstream... could be the springboard for autoimmune disease.”Kevin McKernan, founder of Medicinal Genomics, said in an X post that the study’s authors “knocked it out of the park" and unpacked the findings on Substack.Immunologist and biochemist Jessica Rose, Ph.D., agreed in her own Substack post. “Ulrike Kämmerer, Verena Schulz and Klaus Steger have just published what might be the paper of the century,” she wrote.Steger told The Defender that mRNA shots "genetically transfect our body cells and convert them into production facilities for a foreign viral antigen without any control mechanisms on unwanted negative side effects."He added, “This not only bears the undeniable risk of causing an autoimmune disease, but with regard to the residual plasmid DNA, raises the safety risk of DNA delivery to the cell nucleus and insertion into the genetic material — and in a worst-case scenario, even to the offspring."Christof Plothe, a member of the World Council for Health steering committee, told The Defender, the study“The research showed that the spike proteins are not merely stuck to the cell membrane — instead, they are packaged into exosomes, which are tiny vesicles that can be released from cells and potentially travel throughout the body.”Plothe added, “This finding has major implications for the concept of ‘shedding,’ suggesting that if exosomes contain plasmid DNA, it could be transmissible and might even have the ability to replicate, posing additional risks."The study becomes the latest addition SARS-CoV2 Spike Protein Pathogenicity Research Collection a database of over 250 peer-reviewed scientific studies confirming that the spike protein is highly pathogenic.Erik Sass told The Defender the project was inspired by the publication of “Toxic Shot: Facing the Dangers of the COVID ‘Vaccines’” in June. Sass contributed to a chapter on spike proteins.“This collection of research demonstrates that the SARS-CoV2 spike protein can inflict harm on the human body through a remarkably wide range of mechanisms," Sass said.Sass added that the database “also advances our understanding of the causes and possible treatments for ‘long COVID’ and vaccine injuries resulting from uncontrolled production of the spike protein throughout the body."The German study comes after a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons entitled "Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 modRNA Vaccines: Dangerous Genetic Mechanism of Action Released before Sufficient Preclinical Testing." The authors called for the jabs suspended temporarily if not permanently.Florida’s surgeon general, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Doctors for COVID Ethics, Americans for Health Freedom and the World Council for Health, have also called for a stop to the shots.In October, Idaho’s health board voted to stop offering COVID-19 vaccines at its 30 clinics because of safety concerns. The same month, a Slovak government report proposed a ban on “dangerous” mRNA vaccines.Joseph Sansone, Ph.D., penned a “Ban the Jab” resolution that has been adopted by 10 Florida counties. He told The Defender the new study “raises serious concerns about genetic changes and the potential to predispose future generations to cancer and other diseases.”Steger said studies like his are finally trickling into the news, and will inevitably prevail. “It is only a matter of time before the house of cards of ‘safe and effective vaccinations’ will collapse," he said.
