X-Men powers still pending: Swedish study finds Pfizer jab alters human DNA

Thu Jan 8 2026

Blazing Reader,

In my novel Much Ado About Corona, AJ says: “Hey, I heard these mRNA vaccines alter your DNA. Maybe we’ll all become like the X-Men. Get superpowers!”

“Sorry to disappoint you,” replies Stefanie, “but there isn’t any real evidence it’ll interact with your genetic code. It doesn’t penetrate the cell nucleus.”

Well, Stefanie may have been wrong.

A new study from Lund University in Sweden has found that the Pfizer vaccine alters the DNA of human liver cells in a petri dish. 

Score one for AJ's comic book speculationn.

You can read the study here: https://portal.research.lu.se/en/publications/intracellular-reverse-transcription-of-pfizer-biontech-covid-19-m/

And here's a short interview with doctors discussing the study: https://x.com/redpillb0t/status/2008050984795464174 

If the COVID shots have messed with the genetic code of those injected, this could better explain the long-lasting side effects (which so far do not seem to include X-Men-like superpowers).
