O’Brien also denied rumors that vaccines against COVID-19 can alter human DNA, and the chemicals they contain can be harmful to health.
“The vaccines we have are safe,” O’Brien said.
O’Brien added that most vaccines are designed to deliver the protein or a small portion of the microbe they are intended to target.
