Episode 26: Dr. Jessica Rose on Modified MRNA In Covid-19 Vaccines

Hi everyone,

I’m delighted to have on molecular biologist and fellow freedom fighter on the podcast today. In this conversation, we discuss a new Nature paper that highlights the potential problems with the modified mRNA used in the COVID-19 vaccines. Dr. Rose explain the process of mRNA and protein translation, as well as the role of codon optimization. The conversation delves into the implications of N1-methyl pseudouridine and frame shifting, which can lead to the production of unintended proteins. We also discuss the unpredictability of dosing and the need for further research to understand the potential risks associated with the modified mRNA vaccines.
