Ribosomal frameshifting in pfizer injectables
R. Kingi made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for R. Kingi to read a recent response and update the status.
From: R. Kingi
Dear Ministry of Health,
Recently there has been publication of an article detailing so called ribosomal frameshifting in products that incorperate N1-methylpseudouridine into the modified mRNA, e.g. the pfizer covid vaccine.
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-0...
This concern was raised in 2021 so obviously it is a risk that competent scientists could flag, however it was largely ignored at the time.
Please detail all internal communications around frameshifting as a potential risk, or area of reasonable concern. If it was not considered a potential risk, please detail internal communications that lead to it being dismissed as a risk, and how that conclusion was drawn.
Yours faithfully,
R. Kingi
