DEMASI: Why did you investigate this?
BUCKHAULTS: I could see anxious discussions online getting out of control.
DEMASI: Like what?
BUCKHAULTS: I saw people talking about SV40 (full virus) sequences…
DEMASI: So that’s a virus in monkeys and humans that can cause cancer?
BUCKHAULTS: Yes, and it was going to frighten people into not getting the vaccine. I wanted to put a stop to it. My plan was to examine the vaccine to debunk the fear of SV40 being in the vaccine. One of my good friends and colleagues that I trust kept every “empty” vial of vaccine that they administered in his freezer. Each vial had a little bit of vaccine left over.
DEMASI: What did you do with the vials?
BUCKHAULTS: I checked them first by a PCR assay that uses primers against the vector, and lo and behold, it fired very hot. A very, very high signal. So, then I happen to have a lot of nanopore sequencing capability in my lab from my COVID work. And so, we just had one of my students take everything that was in a few vials and precipitate and put it on the nanopore sequencer and son of the gun, Kevin McKernan was right, this plasmid is present in the vaccine. I proved that there is NOT SV40 full virus, but there is plasmid DNA. And that plasmid does have a little piece of SV40 in it.
