Due to the presence of a certain DNA sequence in their COVID-19 vaccine, Pfizer and its collaborator, BioNTech, may face legal difficulties.
Independent scientific assessments discovered that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine contains a DNA sequence from Simian Virus 40 [SV40], which was not previously revealed to the public.
Regulatory authorities in Canada and Europe have acknowledged that the businesses involved neglected to stress this section in their communications, despite the fact that it was included in regulatory filings documenting the vaccine’s plasmid’s whole DNA sequence.
However, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not revealed whether the businesses included this sequence in their contacts.
