Paul Offit, a vaccine expert, has countered Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo's warning against mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, which Ladapo claimed could be contaminated with DNA fragments that might integrate into human DNA and cause health issues. Offit explained the rigorous process of mRNA vaccine production, emphasizing the near impossibility of such contamination affecting human DNA due to multiple biological safeguards. He also noted that exposure to foreign DNA is common and unavoidable, even in other vaccines, and criticized Ladapo's statement as unnecessarily fear-inducing.
