Everyone who received Moderna’s COVID-19 mRNA vaccine may have unknowingly been exposed to the company’s experimental HIV vaccine, according to a new analysis of genomic data.
A recent study published in Nature has sparked controversy after a genomics researcher discovered traces of an experimental HIV vaccine material embedded within Moderna’s COVID-19 shot — a finding not disclosed in the original publication.
Polish scientists conducting the study, published in early 2025, were investigating how Moderna’s mRNA vaccine behaves inside immune cells. Using advanced sequencing techniques, they tracked the vaccine’s genetic material in vaccinated mice.

But upon reviewing the raw data, world-renowned genomics expert Kevin McKernan made an alarming discovery.
German Prosecutors Warn Bill Gates ‘Prison Awaits’ As Cancer-Causing DNA Found in Covid Vaccines
Alongside the expected spike protein code, McKernan identified fragments of gp145 — a gene sequence associated with Moderna’s experimental HIV vaccine. The sequences appeared to be fused in unusual ways, suggesting the presence of hybrid RNA strands combining COVID and HIV-related genetic material.
“These weren’t supposed to be there,” McKernan said. “How did HIV vaccine code end up in a COVID shot? Why is gp145 attached to the spike protein?”
The sequences were not part of the approved vaccine formula, had not been reported to regulators, and were never disclosed to the public.
So now we have excessive amounts of plasmid DNA and undisclosed genetic sequences in these mRNA ‘vaccines’—specifically, simian virus 40 (SV40) elements in Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine, AND HIV-related sequences in Moderna’s.
The producers of these “vaccines” must have known all of this and yet did not declare it when bringing it on the market.
“How on earth did this get into this SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, and what is gp145 doing covalently linked to spike?” asks McKernan.

World Council for Health provides a closer look at what we know so far in terms of DNA contamination of the COVID mRNA shots:
1. SV40 Promoter/Enhancer Sequences in Pfizer-BioNTech’s Vaccine
Independent genomic analyses, including work by Kevin McKernan and Dr. Peter McCullough, identified DNA contamination in Pfizer-BioNTech’s mRNA vaccine, including sequences linked to SV40 promoters/enhancers (McKernan et al., 2023). These sequences are not part of the vaccine’s active ingredient but appear to stem from the plasmid DNA used in manufacturing.
Why is SV40 concerning?
- Historical context: SV40, a monkey virus, contaminated early polio vaccines (1955–1963) and was later studied for its oncogenic potential (Shah & Nathanson, 1976).
- Role in plasmids: SV40 sequences are often used in biotechnology to enhance gene expression. Their presence suggests residual plasmid DNA from production.
- Cancer risks: The long-term effects of DNA integration remain a serious risk and are even debated by the officials (FDA, 2023).
How did this happen?
Pfizer-BioNTech switched to a high-speed manufacturing process using E. coli to mass-produce DNA templates for mRNA. Incomplete DNA clearance during purification may have left behind fragments containing SV40 regulatory elements (McCullough, 2023). But this doesn’t explain why they were not declared.
Regulatory response
The FDA maintains that any residual DNA is within acceptable limits which is not true as they all exceed official levels and critics argue that full transparency is lacking (Moon, 2022 Senate testimony) and that real risks do exist.
2. HIV-Related Sequences in Moderna’s Vaccine
A study published in Nature on Moderna’s vaccine unexpectedly revealed gp120/gp41 HIV envelope protein fragments fused to spike protein mRNA. This was discovered by Kevin Mc Kernan (McKernan, 2023). These sequences match those used in Moderna’s experimental HIV vaccine but were not disclosed in COVID-19 vaccine filings.
Possible explanations
- Cross-contamination: Moderna’s facilities produce multiple mRNA vaccines, raising concerns about manufacturing carryover.
- Bioinformatic artifact: Some argue these are computational false positives, though McKernan’s team validated findings via sequencing and several scientists (including the ones from the original Polish study) are now investigating it.
- Therapeutic misalignment: If real, their presence is inexplicable and warrants investigation.
This is unacceptable. Drug companies must not be allowed to inject hidden genetic material—with no accountability—into millions of people. Vaccines contaminated with undisclosed DNA/RNA are already showing up in public databases. Now blood banks may need to screen for these unauthorized sequences because an informed public will want nothing to do with them.
No other medicine gets this reckless free pass. Why are experimental vaccines treated differently?
How can true informed consent exist when even the medical professionals administering these gene therapies are unaware of their undisclosed contaminants?
