Health Canada claims cancer-linked DNA sequence found in Pfizer COVID jab is ‘inactive’

Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 was known to cause cancer when it was used in old polio vaccines.
(LifeSiteNews) – Health Canada now says, despite evidence to the contrary, the presence of cancer-linked Polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA in the Pfizer COVID shot is “inactive” with “no functional role” and that the injections are not a form of gene therapy.
On October 27, 2023, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MP Colin Carrie of Oshawa, Ontario, sent a series of questions to the nation’s health agency in response to a media report that the regulator was aware that SV40 was present in the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID jab. SV40 is a monkey-linked DNA sequence known to cause cancer when it was used in old polio vaccines.
The original media report about SV40 came from The Epoch Times, which LifeSiteNews later reported on. It was revealed that the vaccine maker did not originally disclose to Health Canada that SV40 was present in the jabs.
In a December 17 Inquiry of Ministry, Health Canada said the SV40 “promotor,” as it is known, was a residual DNA fragment in the Pfizer COVID shot, which is “is inactive, has no functional role, and was measured to be consistently below the limit required by Health Canada and other international regulators.”
The agency claims that the COVID shots are safe, and in a message sent to The Epoch Times, said it was anticipating finding “biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid (such as an SV40 enhancer) at the time of submission,” as Pfizer was only able to “do so after scientists Kevin McKernan and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults revealed its presence in early 2023.”
McKernan, a microbiologist and former researcher and team leader for the MIT Human Genome project, and Buckhaults, a professor of cancer genomics and director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina, raised in a public manner earlier this year how SV40 was present in the jabs.
According to McKernan in correspondence to The Epoch Times, Pfizer did not let it be known of SV40 being in the COVID shots given its cancer link when it was used in polio vaccines decades ago.
After Health Canada had confirmed the presence of SV40 in the jabs, both the European Medical Agency and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also admitted SV40 was in the Pfizer shots.
Of note is an ongoing debate among scientists regarding the findings of SV40 in COVID shots, with some reporting SV40 poses a cancer risk and was hidden on purpose while others say it is nothing to worry about.
Dr. Joseph Mercola in an opinion piece posted to LifeSiteNews in June 2023 mentioned a discussion about COVID jab contamination among Dr. Steven E. Greer, McKernan and Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi.
