The mRNA technology that was used in the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines has existed for
more than a decade and is not new in the vaccine development field. Moreover, the approved
mRNA vaccines have undergone rigorous testing and clinical trials demonstrating safety and
efficacy in people.
The mRNA vaccines cannot give you COVID-19
The mRNA vaccines cannot cause disease because they do not contain a live virus.

and people with certain diseases.
The mRNA vaccines will alter your DNA.
The technology behind the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is mRNA. Think of mRNA as an instruction
manual for your body on how to make a specific protein in this case, a small part of the “spike”
protein that appears on the virus’ surface. This protein CANNOT cause infection, but it does teach
your body to respond to the COVID-19 coronavirus, should you encounter it.
Myth: The COVID-19 vaccines contain a microchip that can track you.
The COVID-19 vaccines don’t contain a microchip. Therefore, they can’t track your movements,
collect your personal information or enter anything at all into a database. This myth took off
when Microsoft founder Bill Gates mentioned the creation of digital certificates of vaccine
records. The technology he referred to has nothing to do with a microchip. Microchips play no
role in the development, testing or distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
We can’t trust COVID-19 vaccines because they were rushed.

These types of RNAm vaccines are new, but they are not unknown in the scientific
field, so people will be protected without risking COVID-19 disease. RNAm vaccines
