An immediate halt to the use of Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines has been called by Port Hedland’s local government in Western Australia. The move follows claims of synthetic DNA contamination in the vaccines. During a special meeting on October 11, councilors voted 5-2 to alert all 537 local councils across Australia about the potential risks linked to this contamination.
The council is expressing serious concerns about possible health impacts, including genomic integration, cancer, hereditary defects, and immune system issues. Healthcare providers in Port Hedland received correspondence urging them to inform patients considering these vaccines. Federal Member of Parliament (MP) Russell Broadbent echoes the council’s stance. He is also demanding an investigation into the contamination.
The initiative came after testing by Canadian virologist Dr. David Speicher found synthetic DNA in vaccine vials at levels allegedly exceeding regulatory limits. Similar findings in other countries have brought attention to DNA remnants that result from the vaccine production process. These findings have sparked responses from health officials like Florida‘s Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, who previously called for suspending the vaccine program.
In contrast, regulatory bodies, including Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), maintain that the vaccines pose no safety risks. The TGA has described reports of contamination as “misinformation,” although detailed evidence to counter these claims has not been released publicly. The agency has tested several vaccine batches and declared them compliant, but the results remain redacted.
