(1/n) Can it happen that the genetic material in the #CovidVaccines (DNA, RNA) is integrated into our genome? This cannot be completely ruled out.
There is a new review paper on this by the German geneticist & virologist Prof. Dr. Walter Doerfler:
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

(2/n) Prof. Doerfler is an expert on the integration of genetic material (e.g. viral DNA) into the genome of mammalian cells.
He was professor at the University of Cologne, taches at the University of Erlangen & is member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina

(3/n) He published this reference book, for example: wiley.com/en-us/Foreign+…

(4/n) Can the adenovirus vector be used safely in the #Covidvaccines? He concludes:

(5/n) Human adenoviruses can cause cancer in animals. Also in humans? So far there is no good evidence for this. But the possibility "... cannot be categorically excluded"

(6/n) What happens in adenovirus infected human cells?

(7/n) Can integration of adenovirus vector DNA happen in mammalian cells?
This can indeed happen:

(8/n) Can SARS-CoV-2 RNA reverse transcribed and integrated into the human genome?
There is the famous paper of Zhang et al. (2021) discussing this possibility:

(9/n) Are adenoviral late gene products causing side-effect of the #CovidVaccines?
- … “has not been investigated and cannot be rule out”
- “adenovirus vectors remain problematic since they still express viral gene products”

(10/n) Injected adenovirus vectors in humans can cause severe problems. An example is the Jesse Gelsinger incident in 1999: A 18-year old male was the first recipient of an adenoviral vector-based gene therapy. He died soon afterwards.
Prof. Doerfler comments:

(11/n) Prof. Doerfler is critical of the mRNA and DNA vector #Covidvaccines:

(12/n) He reagards the global covid vaccination campaigns as a "huge exerpiment" and advises to monitor "the exacerbation of unexpected, possibly novel, human ailments in vaccinated individuals".
To be understood as a warning.
