16 checks for “DNA”
FactCheck.org says: Dr. Joseph Ladapo cited guidelines for assessing DNA vaccines as evidence mRNA COVID-19 vaccines had not been properly evaluated. These guidelines do not apply to the mRNA vaccines.
PolitiFact says: An Epoch Times article cited a recent study, which has not been peer reviewed, that found part of DNA sequence called an "SV40 promoter" in COVID-19 vaccines, but that's not the same as simian, or monkey, virus 40.
FactCheck.org says: Research suggests gender dysphoria is caused by a combination of factors, including hormone exposure before birth. But social media posts claim it’s caused by vaccines with DNA from an aborted fetus of the opposite sex.
MediaWise says: The ingredients and processes mentioned in this claim do not alter DNA. Reliable public health authorities clearly explain the roles they serve in vaccination. Vaccination does not change DNA.
PolitiFact says: Bill Gates explained in his own blog post that there were many different types of vaccines being tested to create a COVID-19 vaccine, including experimental RNA and DNA vaccines.
