Briefly Noted: A Spike In Your DNA?
Alex Berenson discusses a study from “two major Swedish universities” that raise troubling questions about the effect of the vaccine on our DNA. The study was conducted in vitro (in a lab), not in vivo (in living persons). The point of the studies is this: We were assured that only stupid people or conspiracy theorists would suppose that the mRNA vaccines could affect our DNA. Or maybe Right Wingers. Anyway, the study doesn’t exactly confirm that they the vaccines affect our DNA, but it does suggest a mechanism by which that could actually happen. As seems usual by now, the (potential) villain of the piece is the notorious Spike.
URGENT: Worrisome paper about the spike protein's impact on DNA and DNA repair
…
Remember, the reason vaccine fanatics insist that the mRNA vaccines are NOT gene therapies is that they supposedly have no impact on the nucleus of the cell, where we store our DNA, our core genetic material. Instead, the mRNA is degraded in the cytosol, which is outside the cell’s nucleus.
Some scientists have argued that under certain unlikely circumstances the mRNA can make its way into the nucleus - but that debate is actually irrelevant here. The authors were looking not for the vaccine material but for the presence of the coronavirus proteins, including the spike, in the nucleus.
And - to their surprise - they found the spike.
They then went on to examine how the spike protein might impact the repair of damaged DNA in the nucleus.
Over time, radiation, chemicals, and other molecular-level insults can introduce errors into our DNA, which can cause a cascade of catastrophic consequences, including cancer. To prevent this, our cells have mechanisms to repair their own DNA.
But - at least in the experiments these two scientists ran - the spike protein appeared to interfere with our own DNA repair proteins: “Mechanistically, we found that the spike protein localizes in the nucleus and inhibits DNA damage repair by impeding key DNA repair protein BRCA1 and 53BP1 recruitment to the damage site.”
To be clear, the scientists did NOT prove the spike protein was causing these problems in people, or even animals. Nor did they show they had found the spike protein in human nuclei following the administration of Covid vaccines. Their research was confined to cells - in vitro, not in vivo.
Nonetheless, at a time when advanced countries that have high mRNA (and DNA/AAV) vaccination rates are seeing unusually full hospitals and higher-than-normal death rates, they are yet more cause for concern. As the authors explained:
“Our findings reveal a potential molecular mechanism by which the spike protein might impede adaptive immunity and underscore the potential side effects of full-length spike-based vaccines.”

This tends to explain why vaccines normally take many years to be approved. Normally, responsible public health authorities want to know about any possibilities along these lines.
