ICAN,
through its attorneys, has once again written to Dr. Rochelle Walensky,
the new Director of the CDC, along with Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research,
this time to demand that the FDA and CDC confirm whether or not they
still maintain that COVID-19 vaccines cannot change human DNA. On March 16, 2021, ICAN’s attorneys wrote to Dr. Walensky and Dr. Marks to inquire about viral vector COVID-19 vaccines and the CDC’s assertion that “[t]he genetic material delivered by the viral vector does not integrate into a person’s DNA.” ICAN pointed out a recent study which explains that “studies have shown
that replication-incompetent adenoviral vectors randomly integrate into
host chromosomes at frequencies of 0.001-1% of infected cells” and
asked that Dr. Walensky and Dr. Marks either provide the science to
explain how these studies are incorrect or confirm removal of CDC’s
contrary assertion. On March 22, 2021, we received a two-sentence reply
email from Sandra Cashman thanking us for our letter and our “interest
in COVID-19 vaccines and viral vector technology” and directing us to
“see the latest information on the COVID-19 response at https://www.cdc.gov/COVID-19/.” This site also states that “COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way.” We, therefore, wrote again to follow-up on that request and to also bring the following study
to their attention which indicates that segments of SARS-CoV-2 viral
RNA can become integrated into human genomic DNA and that this newly
acquired viral sequence is not silent, meaning that these genetically
modified regions of genomic DNA are transcriptionally active (DNA is
being converted back into RNA). Due
to the apparent inconsistencies, we asked that Drs. Walensky and Marks
advise whether the CDC and FDA still maintain that it is not possible
for the mRNA in the COVID-19 vaccines to integrate into a vaccinee’s
DNA. ICAN
continues to ask the hard questions of Dr. Walensky and others. ICAN
will closely review any response from Dr. Walensky or Dr. Marks and will
continue to push for improved transparency regarding vaccines and their
development, clinical trials, and safety surveillance. You can share this legal update via this link: www.icandecide.org/ |
