Before McKernan discovers DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines
- McKernan is an expert in DNA analysis
- He was originally working on the mask issue and communicated it on social networking sites
- He was working on mRNA vaccine quality issues
- In February 2023, DNA contamination was disclosed on Substack, which was called PlasmidGate and became a big problem
In February 2023, DNA contamination was disclosed on Substack, which was called PlasmidGate and became a big problem
解説/Explanation
McKernan is an expert in DNA analysis and originally worked on the mask issue and communicated it on social networking sites, although it is not well known. He also worked on mRNA vaccine quality issues.
2020 mRNA codon optimization study
- Biological denaturation concerns for mRNA vaccine-generated spikes
- Codon optimization survey of mRNA sequence data, many GC components
- DNA contamination not suddenly discovered and reported by someone with no track record
It is important to emphasize that McKernan is a specialist in gene sequence research, including mRNA. This is not a case of someone with no track record finding and reporting DNA contamination in an off-the-cuff experiment.
解説/Explanation
McKernan is concerned about biological degeneration of spikes in 2020 and is conducting a codon optimization study of mRNA sequence data. This is not an actual vial, but a study using publicly available data from Pfizer and Moderna.
2023/02/16 mRNA length quality check initiated.
- Initial purpose was not to investigate DNA contamination in mRNA.
- Starting point was to investigate length variation due to dissatisfaction with mRNA vaccine of unknown quality.
- If the mRNA is short/erroneous, it does not produce spiked protein as expected.
- The investigation revealed not only short mRNAs but also long mRNAs. What is this?
In fact, the results of the study using Pfizer and Modela vials showed that not only were some of them short, but some were long. What the heck does this mean? And so the question became, "What does this mean?
The process of discovering the DNA will be described in another blog. Keep in mind that up to this point, we were still talking about mRNA quality checks.
解説/Explanation
McKernan's frustration with mRNA vaccines of unknown quality led him to initiate an investigation into variations in mRNA length. [1] This is because if the mRNA in the vaccine is short or has errors, it will not produce the expected spike protein.
2023/06/15 FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee
- McKernan to appear before FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee
- Raised the allegation of DNA contamination and called for a follow-up test worldwide
- In Japan, opponents of the Corona vaccine publicly challenge the DNA contamination issue.
- DNA contamination is confirmed in follow-up trials around the world, prompting lawsuits and media coverage.

In the next section, we will explain why this has happened.
解説/Explanation
McKernan appeared before the FDA's Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee to raise the allegations of DNA contamination and call for follow-up testing around the world. The DNA contamination has been confirmed in follow-up tests around the world, and lawsuits are now being filed. In Japan, on the other hand, there are those who believe that the issue of DNA contamination should not be a cause for concern.
