A video circulating on social media claims that the lipid nanoparticles that protect vaccine mRNA as it is delivered to cells can interact with and be programmed by 5G wireless technology. The claim is based on a patent filed by Moderna related to lipid nanoparticle delivery of mRNA and other genetic material. The patent has nothing to do with 5G or any other cellular or wireless technology.
Responding to conspiracy theories may detract from priority talking points. Many health organizations have already debunked the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 vaccines have any link to 5G.
