A video clip has resurfaced of a social media CEO claiming that they were worried mRNA vaccines might alter DNA. The CEO is being criticized for silencing people who questioned the vaccines’ safety while allegedly expressing similar beliefs privately.
Fact-checking sources: This misleading clip has resurfaced and been debunked several times before. Debunking messaging may explain that the clip was deceptively edited to hide that the video was recorded while COVID-19 vaccines were still in development and before the CEO understood how they work. Messaging may also reinforce that vaccine mRNA cannot enter the cell nucleus or alter DNA.
