About

 This blog is dedicated to my mother and others like her, who have been misled by disinformation and conspiracy theories spread by disreputable “experts” online.

My mother frequently insists on sharing articles of questionable legitimacy with me.  So I often spend hours scrutinizing an article’s veracity by thoroughly digesting its arguments, tracking down its source material, and finding additional credible references.  Over and over again, this process leads to the exposure of faulty logic and outright lies.

I became inspired to start this blog to share the work I put in to debunk disinformation, in the hope that it might help others who have fallen prey to these wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Is codon optimization in COVID vaccines dangerous?

This post exposes the disinformation in Joseph Mercola’s article entitled “Can Super-Shots and ‘Morality Pills’ End COVID?”, which can be found at [1].  Contrary to its title, the bulk of the article argues that the codon optimization present in COVID mRNA vaccines is dangerous. Mercola’s article is mainly based on another person's blog post [2].  Below, the main arguments in the article are summarized, and the inadequacy of each argument is shown. The mRNA vaccines are using codon optimization.  Codon optimization may lead to proteins that may behave differently than they would have in their native form.  The claimed supporting evidence is: "Biber cites a quote by Chava Kimchi Sarfaty, Ph.D., a principal investigator at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: 'We do not believe that you can optimize codons and have the protein behave as it did in its native form.' ". The original source of the quote is in [3], and it's being taken totally out of context.  The ...
