TUCSON, Ariz., July 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A major reason for vaccine hesitancy is the belief that the COVID jabs might alter your genes. A recent article in Medscape addresses this concern: “Chance That COVID-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy? ‘Zero’.” The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) states that conclusions should be based on scientific evidence, not solely on expert opinion. “Extensive research in ‘genetic engineering’ has led to dazzling achievements, but concerns about dangers were raised as early as the 1970s,” states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D. “Renowned genetic researcher and Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna discussed both promises and pitfalls in her popular 2017 book, A Crack in Creation.” Currently all authorized COVID vaccines are products of genetic technology, which is poorly understood by the public. Therefore, to clarify the issues, AAPS proposes to examine the following questions concerning characteristics of these novel vaccines:
The public could have much more confidence in public health institutions if these questions were addressed, states AAPS. The Association of American Physicians and Surgeons has represented physicians in all specialties since 1943. Its motto is omnia pro aegroto, everything for the patient. Contact: Jane M.
