Scientists and legal experts are petitioning the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to suspend or withdraw the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID-19 vaccines

The petition cites evidence that Pfizer and Moderna’s so called COVID-19 vaccines are unapproved gene therapies and are contaminated with DNA plasmids.

It was also submitted to the U.S. Department of Justice, requesting that the agency consider “potential fraud indictments against Pfizer and Moderna.”

The Defender reports: According to a press release by Australian law firm PJ O’Brien & Associates, the petition “exposes alarming evidence of synthetic DNA contamination and regulatory failures that could affect millions worldwide,” shedding light on “a public health crisis.”

The Citizen Petition stated that Pfizer and Moderna misclassified their mRNA products as vaccines instead of gene therapy products, enabling the companies to avoid legally required FDA environmental assessments.

“This misclassification denied Americans transparency and informed consent, violating federal law and rendering approvals void from the start,” the press release stated.

The petition also cites several studies that “confirm synthetic DNA in these vaccines at levels 6 to 470 times above safety thresholds.”

“This biologically active DNA — detected in vials and human blood — carries SV40 [simian virus 40] sequences linked to cancer and genomic instability, posing risks of oncogenesis, hereditary changes, and immune disruption,” the press release stated.

The petition calls on the FDA to investigate its classification of the mRNA shots as non-gene therapy products, conduct independent testing of existing COVID-19 vaccine stocks, issue public guidance on contamination-related risks, and conduct studies examining the vaccines’ contamination and their health effects.

“Vetted by U.S. attorneys and hailed by MAHA [Make America Healthy Again] advisors for its rigor, this document is a clarion call to rewrite the narrative on COVID-19 vaccine safety,” the press release stated.

The petition is open for public comment. Initial signatories include:

In 2023, McKernan became the first scientist to identify DNA contaminants in the mRNA shots.

According to the press release, the petition to the FDA “falls under the purview” of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. HHS oversees the FDA. Kennedy has until July 20 to issue a ruling on the petition.
