'An Admission of Epic Proportions': Health Canada Confirms DNA Plasmid Contamination of COVID Vaccines • Children's Health Defense

In what one scientist described as an "Admission of epic proportions," Health Canada on Thursday confirmed the presence of DNA contamination in Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines, and also confirmed that Pfizer did not disclose the contamination to the public health authority.

Health Canada, the country's public health authority, told The Epoch Times that while Pfizer provided the full DNA sequences of the plasmid in its vaccine at the time of the initial submission, the vaccine maker "Did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence.”

"Health Canada expects sponsors to identify any biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid at the time of submission," it said.

Health Canada's admission came after two scientists, Kevin McKernan and Phillip J. Buckhaults, Ph.D., discovered the presence of bacterial plasmid DNA in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines at levels potentially 18-70 times higher than the limits set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency.

"One must wonder why Pfizer would not disclose the presence of a biologically functional DNA sequence to a health regulator. Pfizer was required to disclose to health regulatory agencies all of the bioactive sequences in the bacterial plasmid DNA that they used to manufacture their shots.”

"Plasmid DNA is used in the manufacturing of mRNA vaccines and is supposed to be removed to a level below a threshold set by health regulatory agencies before the final product is released for distribution," The Epoch Times reported.

McKernan's discovery made it "Possible for Health Canada to confirm the presence of the enhancer based on the plasmid DNA sequence submitted by Pfizer against the published SV40 enhancer sequence," Health Canada said.

Rose told The Defender the contamination "Is problematic in terms of unwanted immunological reactions and potential integration, DNA damage and alteration ability." "This is why we clean it, and lipopolysaccharides, out at the end of the modRNA synthesis workflow that utilizes the plasmid/E. coli system for DNA upscaling.”

"Production of modRNA used in the original Pfizer randomized clinical trial utilized a PCR-generated DNA template. To generate billions of vaccine doses, this DNA was cloned into a bacterial plasmid vector for amplification in Escherichia coli before linearization," the study notes.

"These data demonstrate the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in these vaccines," the study further states, noting that the levels of DNA contaminants exceed thresholds set by the FDA and World Health Organization.

"The first ones were made with PCR," Guetzkow said, "Which basically just replicates any DNA sequence that you give it," whereas process 2 used E. coli, which he said is "Generally not good for us," but to which the plasmid DNA template was added and then grown "By replicating the bacteria.”

McKernan told The Epoch Times that Health Canada's response was a "Trust me" answer, and questioned why the results showing the double-stranded DNA contamination were hidden.
