Several experts poised for top jobs in US health agencies subscribe to the disputed idea the shots are causing widespread side effects and deaths.
Dr Jay Bhattacharya, who has been nominated to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has backed a petition calling for the mRNA vaccines to be paused and retested, DailyMail.com can reveal.

DailyMail.com also understands Robert F Kennedy Jr has privately expressed concerns about the vaccines and signaled he is open to axing them if the data supports it.
Other key advisors to Kennedy have promoted conspiratorial views on social media about the Covid vaccines, including that the shots killed more people than they saved.
Dr Aseem Malhotra, a British cardiologist being considered for a health advisory role in Kennedy's new health departments, has called for the jabs to be suspended and and reassessed.
Outside the health agencies, Kash Patel — who has been nominated as FBI director — previously promoted bogus supplements that 'reversed' the supposed damage caused by Covid vaccines.
Comment: In this instance, the Daily Mail is referencing a post by Kash Patel on Truth Social from February 2024, where he shared a link to a supplement company called Warrior Essentials. The company offers a 'Spike supplement bundle,' which, contrary to being bogus, includes scientifically supported ingredients such as proteolytic enzymes like bromelain and nattokinase to breakdown the spike protein.
How a ban would be implemented is still not clear. A total ban would require the FDA withdrawing its approval status for safety or effectiveness reasons.

The mRNA vaccines made by Moderna and Pfizer are estimated to have saved tens of millions of lives globally, including 3 million in the US.
Comment: Estimations are not facts. Show us the data.
President Trump has been reluctant to take credit for the achievement in recent years, however, for fear of alienating his core voter base which has become skeptical of the shots.
But he has signaled his support of other vaccines, including the polio vaccine — which he praised as the 'greatest thing' and said he was a 'big believer' in.
The Covid vaccines have been linked to a small risk of heart damage and Guillain-Barre syndrome, where the immune system attacks nerves, causing pain, fatigue and numbness.
Data from the US Covid vaccine injury compensation program suggested that 14,000 people had filed claims for injury or death they claimed were caused by the Covid vaccine as of December 2024, out of the 270 million Americans who received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Comment: The data from the COVID vaccine injury program is untrustworthy because it's widely acknowledged that vaccine injury reporting is severely undercounted. See also: If only 1% of all vaccine injuries are reported, the $4 billion paid out is just the tip of the iceberg
Dr Paul Offit, a vaccines expert at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, told DailyMail.com this highlighted that the vaccines were not dangerous.
He said: 'The vaccines have been given to billions of people at this point, and there were large prospective placebo-controlled studies that didn't show these effects.
'As the vaccines were rolled out, not everyone got them at once... and this staggering would tell you if something is a problem that was not picked up in clinical trials.
'We picked up myocarditis during this... we even picked up Guillain Barre syndrome, which has a rate after vaccination of around eight in a million.
'We would have easily picked up [these excess deaths and purported links to cancer] if true, and we haven't picked this up.'
CDC data showed that 45 percent of adults over 65 years old have got the most recent Covid booster shot, while 23 percent of those over 18 years have received it.
Preliminary data shows about 651 people died from Covid in the week to February 1, below the 939 deaths that were linked to the flu in the same week.
Around 25,000 people were dying from Covid at the peak of the pandemic in November 2020, before the vaccines were rolled out.
In his new role as head of the Department of Human Services (HHS), Kennedy has power over the CDC panel that decides the immunization schedule for children and adults.
As NIH chief, Dr Bhattacharya could prioritize funding research into vaccines, potentially revealing harms or safety concerns that other agencies could use to ban them.
Two states — Idaho and Montana — have already begun considering legislation to ban the use of the mRNA Covid vaccines.
The above shows states with moves for mRNA vaccine bans. Legislators in Idaho and Montana (purple) have brought forward bans for the vaccines, while activists say that at the county level bans are being considered in Tennessee, Iowa and Washington. Florida previously considered banning mRNA vaccines
Comment: Because the pharmaceutical industry and the agencies it influences have actively blocked the idea from being tested. How can they claim it won't integrate into DNA if they haven't even conducted trials to rule out that possibility?
The HOPE accord, signed by Dr Bhattacharya, claims there is a 'causal link' between the mRNA shots and an alarming rise in excess deaths worldwide.
During Covid and in the years following the pandemic, hundreds of thousands of more people in the US died than would normally be expected.
While many experts have attributed these deaths to cancers, heart disease, undiagnosed Covid and the worsening of health problems missed during lockdowns, the new petition suggests the mRNA vaccines played a role.
It states: 'This new technology was granted emergency use authorisation to address a situation that no longer exists.
'Going forward, the burden of proof falls on those still advocating for these products to compellingly demonstrate that they aren't resulting in net harm.
'Until such evidence is presented, regulators should suspend their use as a matter of standard medical precaution.'
At his senate confirmation hearing, RFK Junior said he didn't know whether Covid vaccines work.
'I don't know,' he told senators, 'we don't have a good surveillance system.'
Del Bigtree, communications director for Kennedy's presidential bid, has previously suggested Covid vaccines are causing excess deaths and leaving people vulnerable to infections.
He said in January last year in an open letter: 'An experimental vaccine with a deadly track record was "warp-speeded" onto the market and mandated for every arm in the country.
'Nearly four years later, excess mortality is at an all-time high. Heart attacks in children are now commonplace.'
He added: 'The vaccine has proven to have negative efficacy, causing people to be more prone to infection than doing nothing at all.'
DailyMail.com has reached out to the White House and Kennedy's teams for comment.
Some knew that might be the outcome 4 years earlier and opted out under duress. No point in banning the experimental fluid now, 4.5 billion are willful participants in the long term, safety study.
We are in year 5 of the 10 year long term drug testing, let it unfold and see where it ends up at.
But, whats next, just may be a vaccine for the vaccine , because, they just didnt know, what evil extents men would go to.
