Former Pfizer Quality Assurance and Quality Control Manager

"Pfizer whistleblower Melissa Strickler (Melissa Strickler) revealed that the vaccine is glowing. She suggested that the light-emitting ingredients are SM-102 (luciferase) and graphene oxide."

The recent series of social media campaigns on Pfizer vaccines seems to be aimed at increasing the hesitation of Christians, especially evangelicals, about vaccines.

A clip that has attracted attention on social media includes an excerpt from an interview with LifeSiteNews by Melissa Strickler, Pfizer’s former quality assurance and quality control manager, LifeSiteNews, a “life-supporting” news website. Previously spread false information about COVID-19.

Earlier, Strickler falsely claimed that Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine may contain fetal cells.

In the interview, Strickler claimed that the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine "glows." She added that the only ingredient that can make the vaccine glow "is SM-102, which is called luciferase and graphene oxide."

When asked what she meant by glowing, Strickler replied: "[I] looks like someone took a blue glow stick, opened it, and poured it into a vial. "And added, "It will only shine when there is light, if the surroundings are completely dark."

Newsmax's White House reporter Emerald Robinson was one of the people who reposted the video. She asked her fans on Twitter: "Dear Christian: Why do you inject something containing luciferase into your body?"

Of course, this means that there is a connection between luciferase and Lucifer (the devil).

The claim that Pfizer vaccine contains anything that makes it glow in the dark is wrong. Attempts to link the vaccine to the enzyme luciferase are intended to provoke fears related to the doomsday beliefs held by certain Christian denominations.

First, the COVID-19 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine developed by Pfizer BioNTech under the trade name Comirnaty does not contain SM-102 or graphene oxide.

A complete list of vaccine ingredients can be found on the Food and Drug Administration website.

These ingredients include salt and sugar that are used to maintain acid balance in the body. Medical experts say that sugar helps vaccine molecules maintain their shape during the freezing process.

Comirnaty also contains lipids, which are fat molecules that are insoluble in water. They are used in lipid nanoparticle delivery systems to help bring fragile mRNA into target cells.

SM-102 is not in the lipids used in Comirnaty.

The Moderna vaccine does contain SM-102. However, Strickler said that SM-102 "is called luciferase" is wrong.

SM-102 is a "proprietary ionizable lipid" manufactured by Moderna for its vaccine.

SM-102 combines with other lipids to form lipid nanoparticles (a very tiny substance made of water-insoluble lipids).

The study found that SM-102 is "the best choice for intramuscular injection of vaccines."

Luciferase refers to a group of enzymes that produce bioluminescence. Enzymes are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions. Bioluminescence occurs when organisms produce and emit light, as is common in fireflies.

The French pharmacologist Raphael Dubois first coined the term luciferase during bioluminescence experiments in the 19th century.

According to Nebraska Medicine, a research partner at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, “SM-102 is sometimes mixed with chemicals that are not suitable for human consumption” when used for purposes other than medicine.

For example, SM-102 containing luciferase-encoding mRNA can be used for non-invasive monitoring of cells.

Virologists also use luciferase to develop better diagnostic tests for COVID-19.

But the vaccine manufacturer did not put this enzyme in any COVID-19 vaccine.

Previous conspiracy theories involving SM-102 deceptively used the warning label of chloroform when describing SM-102, making people think it was harmful to their health.

Similarly, no vaccine approved by the World Health Organization contains graphene oxide, a compound of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen used in certain potentially toxic biomedical applications.

According to the Health Desk, an initiative of non-profit technology Meedan, the ingredients of Pfizer's BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines have been tested by external parties, and “it was not found that their formulations contained any graphene oxide, including lipid nanoparticles.”

This is not the first attempt to link the COVID-19 vaccine to a doomsday conspiracy theory.

Lucifer enzyme sounds similar to Lucifer, and some Christians interpret this name to refer to the devil. However, Lucifer literally means messenger/carrier of light in Latin.

Many medical terms come from Greek or Latin. Luciferase is derived from the Latin "light" (lux) and carry (ferre).

In any case, it is wrong to try to link the COVID-19 vaccine to an evil conspiracy, and/or to suggest that they contain ingredients that are harmful to human health.

However Robinson tried to spread this fear. In a now-deleted tweet, she falsely claimed: "Dear Christian: The vaccine contains a bioluminescent marker called luciferase so that you can be tracked. Read the last book of the New Testament and see See how this will end."

Robinson also spread the "Great Reset" conspiracy, which assumes that global elites are using the COVID-19 pandemic to disrupt the United States, the capitalist system, and American society.

Polygraph.info contacted Newsmax to determine whether Robinson’s repeated false statements violated their social media policies or ethics. Newsmax did not respond.
