"AFP has debunked several claims that Covid-19 vaccines contain DNA, alter people's genomes and cause cancer.
"While the ingredient lists for mRNA Covid-19 vaccines do not mention DNA (archived here), Imperiale said he "can't think of anything dangerous" that would happen if they did.
To affect a person's genome, he said contaminants would need to enter "dividing cells" -- not the muscle or skin cells where the vaccine is introduced.
"For it to cause cancer, it would have to incorporate into the genome known to be involved in cancer and turn on the gene. It doesn't have a way to do that," Imperiale said.
David Gorski, a professor of surgery and oncology at the Wayne State University School of Medicine, also said in a September 21 blog post (archived here) that Buckhaults's claims about potential genetic damage are baseless.
Gorski said the process by which DNA inserts itself into the genome and introduces mutations can only lead to cancer "if the mutation either activates or increases the expression of oncogenes (cancer-causing genes) or inactivates tumor suppressor genes."
"Sounds scary but is incredibly unlikely," he said.
Gorski added that there is "zero evidence or biological plausibility to link minuscule amounts of short fragments of DNA to cardiac arrest or sudden death."
False claims recirculate on harmful DNA in Covid-19 vaccines
Scientists have repeatedly refuted the claim that Covid-19 vaccines can alter a person's genome, but social media posts suggest DNA contamination in the injections could lead to harmful effects such as cancer. This is false; there is no evidence of significant amounts of genetic material in the...

Once again........has not been debunked but a lot of crap that the so called authorities like Fauci and the CDC were claiming have been definitively debunked.
How many times are you going to repeat the same lies. We've debunked this false claim repeatedly and yet you just wait for time to pass and you repeat the same garbage. Get a life and stop being such a dark, negative force intent on gaslighting people with fiction every single day.
You've made plenty of claims like this that I've debunked but in this one you're completely mis-representing the process - on purpose! Only shitty people use part of every day to sow distrust in government institutions and healthcare systems. And for what?
"But hospitals have never been compensated by the federal government based on a patient dying of COVID-19 in one of their facilities, say industry officials and public health experts.
During the pandemic, hospitals have received additional money for treating COVID-19 patients as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES, the 2020 law meant to address the economic fallout of the pandemic.
But those increased payments don’t apply to every COVID-19 patient treated in a hospital, just the ones under Medicare, which is the federal healthcare program serving people 65 and over.
Colin Milligan, a spokesperson for the American Hospital Association, confirmed that hospitals are currently eligible to receive a 20% increase in Medicare payments for caring for COVID-19 patients.
“These patients are often very costly and time and labor-intensive for hospitals to treat,” he explained in an email Wednesday. “In addition, it is important to highlight that Medicare and Medicaid both reimburse hospitals far less than the cost of actually providing care.”
Milligan also pointed to a statement the hospital trade group released in 2020 when concerns about the industry’s profits during the pandemic became a focus of debate.
“Hospitals do not receive extra funds when patients die from COVID-19,” Rick Pollack, the association’s president, said in the statement. “They are not over-reporting COVID-19 cases. And, they are not making money on treating COVID-19.”
And despite what the social media posts claim, the enhanced COVID-19 payments aren’t based on whether the patient lives or dies, experts said.
“This is a stupid lie that apparently, like a zombie, refuses to die,” Gerald Kominski, a senior fellow and former director at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, wrote in an email. “The most common lie about this fact is that every COVID hospitalization (i.e., including on-Medicare) meant more payment (FALSE) and hospitals only got paid more if the patient died (FALSE).”
In general, Medicare payments are based on the severity of the patient’s condition and the types of treatments provided, said Juliette Cubanski, deputy director of Medicare policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, a San Francisco nonprofit focused on health policy issues. A sicker patient will require more medical services, meaning their Medicare bill will be larger.
The average cost of a COVID-19 hospitalization for a Medicare patient is about $24,000, she said, citing claims data from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that oversees the government healthcare programs. But the reimbursement for more severely ill patients -- such as those placed on a ventilator for multiple days -- is roughly $40,000, according to KFF’s analysis.
Social media posts citing a $48,000 subsidy for COVID-19 deaths appear to be taking that $40,000 average cost for treating the sickest COVID-19 patients and factoring in the special 20% reimbursement rate increase. But Cubanski argued that’s not a fair assessment of the potential payout to hospitals.
“My understanding of the estimates from CMS is that they already include the 20% payment increase in the stated amount,” she wrote in an email. “So the payment for an extreme case would be $40k including the 20% increase, not $40k plus 20%.”
Spokespersons for CMS and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the agency, didn’t respond to emails seeking comment this week.
But President Joe Biden has announced the federal government’s declaration of a public health emergency for COVID-19 will end on May 11.
That means the enhanced Medicare payments -- along with other measures the federal government enacted to weather the pandemic -- will soon be a thing of the past."
Hospital COVID payments tied to patient treatment, not deaths
Social media users are claiming American hospitals have a financial incentive to let people with coronavirus die under their watch.

How many three year old videos are you going to recycle? Are you running out of new propaganda?
I was expecting some odd twitter account linked response from you. You are slipping.
I can own a simpleton like you with or without a twitter post because you're just that dumb. But can you explain to me why my linking twitter posts bothers you yet strangely you say nothing to your fellow nutball who posts 50 a day from the strangest ghouls on the internet? Care to answer? 🤔💩
Wow!!
BREAKING REPORT: ⚠️ Potential Lawsuits Looming Over DNA SEQUENCE Found in Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine..
Pfizer and its collaborator, BioNTech, might face legal challenges due to the inclusion of a specific DNA sequence in their COVID-19 vaccine.
Independent scientific analyses has found that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine contains a DNA sequence from Simian Virus 40 [SV40], a detail that was not disclosed to the public.
Regulatory authorities in Canada and Europe have recognized that the companies involved failed to emphasize this sequence in their communications, despite it being included in the regulatory submissions detailing the complete DNA sequence of the vaccine's plasmid.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, has not revealed whether the companies made any mention of this sequence in their communications.
While the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) generally offers legal protection to manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines against lawsuits, there is an exception for instances of "willful misconduct." This term refers to actions deliberately carried out with a wrongful intent.
Mat Staver, chairman of Liberty Counsel, suggests, "I think what we have here is willful misconduct."

Wow!! Chuck Callesto , Dr Robert Malone and Margarine Trailer Grease lied to you AGAIN!!
THE FACTS: No evidence has been found to suggest DNA fragments used in the development of the coronavirus vaccine -- such as a portion of SV40’s DNA sequence -- are causing health problems in people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine. A recent congressional hearing r evived the baseless claim that coronavirus vaccines contain dangerous levels of monkey virus DNA. Following the hearing, social media users began sharing a post with information from The Epoch Times website that reported Congress was warned at the hearing about “DNA fragments” detected in the inoculation made by Pfizer and BioNTech. The post cites testimony from Dr. Robert Malone, who played a role in developing the messenger RNA, or mRNA, technology used in the vaccine, claiming the shot includes a DNA sequence called Simian Virus 40, or SV40. “The sequence leaves behind residual DNA that could cause problems,” reads one Instagram post. But the Nov. 13 hearing at the U.S. Capitol, which was held by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and other vaccine critics in the House of Representatives, repeated long-debunked falsehoods about the contents of the shot and purported health risks like cancer. Government regulatory agencies and vaccine experts told The Associated Press that the Simian Virus itself isn’t present in the vaccine, and there’s no evidence anything contained in the vaccine could alter a person’s DNA or lead to cancer and other illnesses. The European Medicines Agency, which regulates vaccines in European Union nations, explained that “non-functional” fragments of SV40’s DNA sequence are used as “starting material” in producing the vaccine. But they’re mostly being broken down and removed in the manufacturing process. Trace amounts might remain at “very low levels” in the final product, the agency and others acknowledged, but they are well within established safety guidelines.“ EMA has seen no evidence of an association between mRNA vaccines and adverse events that could be linked to the presence of DNA material, nor are we aware of any scientific evidence showing that the very small amounts of residual DNA that may be present in vaccine batches could integrate into the DNA of vaccinated individuals,” the Amsterdam-based agency wrote in an emailed statement. The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates vaccines in the U.S., echoed the sentiment, saying no safety concerns about residual DNA in COVID vaccines have been identified, despite more than one billion shots being administered. “The FDA stands behind its findings of quality, safety, and efficacy for the mRNA vaccines,” the agency wrote, deferring further questions to Pfizer and other vaccine makers. Pfizer, in an emailed statement, stressed that the use of the SV40 sequence is common practice in developing vaccines, including the influenza and hepatitis shots that have been administered globally for decades. ”There is no evidence to support claims that the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine contains plasmid DNA that could potentially impact a person’s DNA or be a theoretical cancer risk,” the company wrote, referring to DNA materials used to trigger an immune response during vaccine development. Spokespersons for The Epoch Times didn’t respond to messages seeking comment.
