Point/Counterpoint

 Dr Carrie Madej reveals how Big Tech collaborates with Big Pharma to introduce new technologies in the coming vaccines, that will alter our DNA and turn us into hybrids. [More]

Reporters for the government-funded BBC Reality Check calls her claims "false and misleading."

Who among us has the knowledge and understanding of the science to weigh in one way or the other? About the only thing we have is experience assessing the credibility of what the government, the pharmaceutical companies, the medical establishment, and the media chooses to tell us.

Unless we have a good understanding of the complexities, any conclusion we come to will be a leap of faith, and that's as dangerous as anything.

Not going to watch a video by what sure appears to be an idiot (in general I never watch videos), but going by what the BBC says she claims:

"The Covid-19 vaccines are designed to make us into genetically modified organisms."

I see this lot, and it betrays a total lack of understanding of what the "wild type" real virus does to you. Specifically, it hijacks a lot of your cells to force them to produce more viruses. One vaccine approach used by Moderna and Pfizer does the same thing, except it only hijacks a few cells, and only to produce just a bit of the virus. In either case, the adaptive immune system says "I don't think so," develops antibodies, and mops up the viruses, virus fragments, cells still alive enough to be producing viruses or virus fragments, etc. If you're scared of a vaccine doing this, well, just wait till you get the full treatment by the self-replicating wild type virus to many many more cells in your body.

That said, HIV and other retroviruses do modify the DNA of the cells they infect, and if like HIV they can hide out from the immune system, they do "turn you into a GMO." But here we're talking about RNA viruses, you need to explain how without the aid of reverse transcriptase the RNA is first going to be turned into DNA. (And that, BTW, is how RT-PCR tests work, the RT is reverse transcriptase, which converts viral RNA into DNA, for which we have much better tools like PCR.)

She also claims - without any evidence - that vaccines will "hook us all up to an artificial intelligence interface"

Ask yourself how big an antenna in your body that would require, look at the ones used to microchip pet and livestock for example, and what devices will be communicating with that antenna, and how close they have to be.

Carrie Madej makes a number of other false claims, including that vaccine trials are "not following any sound scientific protocol to make sure this is safe".

The protocols are public and long standardized, and in the last step, the Phase III trials, at minimum 15,000 people will get the vaccine, and as many a saline solution placebo as the control group, then you look for really bad reactions, and how many get the disease in each group to prove efficacy. The step we're skipping for now is taking the time to fine tune the dosing, more on that if you want, but the TL;DR is that they're likely to err on the side of being rougher on your body than required, and by definition nobody can known for sure how long they'll provide protection. But we of course already take regular vaccine booster doses for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (whooping cough). Well, those of us don't want to get lockjaw, which I've read is a very ugly way to die.
