The large audience of the conspiracy theorist increases the risk of his claims. Debunking messaging may emphasize the overwhelming scientific evidence that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are safe and do not cause cancer. Rigorous independent testing in the U.S. and E.U. has yielded no evidence that residual DNA in vaccines is toxic in any way. Messaging may also emphasize that, after over three years of research in millions of people worldwide, there has never been any evidence of a link between COVID-19 vaccines and cancer diagnosis, progression, recurrence, or death.
