COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines Won't Promote Cancer

Misbar’s investigation finds the article falsely portrays the actual findings of the study. 
Natural News, a site known for pushing false information and banned by Facebook, started the claim.

The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center refuted claims related to the link between COVID-19 vaccines and cancer. 

According to MSKCC, none of the vaccines interact with or alter your DNA in any way, and therefore cannot cause cancer.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is not the same as DNA and cannot be combined with DNA to change your genetic code.

The study published in Nature in August 2018 has nothing to do with mRNA vaccines developed to protect against the disease.  The study was published before the COVID-19 pandemic even started.

The mRNA vaccines use a tiny piece of the coronavirus genetic code to teach your immune system how to make a protein that will trigger an immune response if you get infected. The mRNA is fragile, so after it delivers the instructions to your cells, it breaks down and disappears from the body (in about 72 hours). The mRNA never even goes into the nucleus of the cell — the part that contains your DNA.

The allegation that vaccines cause cancer pits science and evidence against Internet mythology and out-of-context information. Theories espoused on the Internet flourish suggesting a link between rises in cancer rates with an increase in the distribution of vaccines. Theories circulating are not based on scientific evidence.

Misbar’s team didn’t find any evidence to support that mRNA vaccine could inactivate the genes that suppress tumors.
