Professor Ooi Eng Eong, an expert on emerging infectious diseases at Duke-NUS Medical School, and Dr Kenneth Lyen, a paediatrician in private practice, debunked some of the points raised in a letter by 12 doctors about why children should not be given messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines for Covid-19.
• The letter referred to an article by authors from three educational institutions in the United States - Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The article was published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America scientific journal.
The letter noted that "mRNA themselves are very fragile in the human body and are easily attacked by ribonucleases that are distributed very widely in our body".
It also said: "Reverse transcriptase, which converts RNA to DNA, is very troubling. It is not naturally found in our body but becomes readily available if you are very sick with a chronic virus, like hepatitis B."
Prof Ooi said that if that statement were true, "persons living with HIV and hepatitis B would have their entire genome scrambled by the virus".
