Daniel Kuritzkes
Made it into the annals of history when he stated that the synthetic mRNA in the Pfizer and Moderna products would last only 24-48 hours in the human body.
As a Reuters “fact-check” in April 2021 explained:
Dr Daniel Kuritzkes, chief of the infectious diseases division at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, one of the world’s top teaching hospitals and part of Harvard Medical School… pointed out that the mRNA vaccines are degraded within 24 to 48 hours… that means they disappear from the shot recipients’ bodies within a day or two.
In early 2022, scientists reported in Cell, one of the world’s top journals, they had found vaccine mRNA for at least 60 days in germinal centers, which are crucial parts of the immune system.
