Health Canada Responds to MP’s Questions on SV40 DNA Sequence in Pfizer Vaccine

The agency says the SV40 DNA sequence is a residual fragment in Pfizer’s COVID vaccines that is ‘inactive’ and has ‘no functional role.’

Health Canada has responded to a Conservative MP’s questions about a Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA sequence found in COVID-19 vaccines by continuing to assert the shots are safe.

MP Colin Carrie had submitted a series of questions on Oct. 27, a week after The Epoch Times published an article revealing that Health Canada had only recently become aware of the SV40 promotor-enhancer’s presence in the COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech.
