The European Medicines Agency (EMA) today revealed that some of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine data stolen from its servers in December was leaked online.
EMA is a decentralized agency responsible for reviewing and approving COVID-19 vaccines, as well as for evaluating, monitoring, and supervising any new medicines introduced to the EU.
"The ongoing investigation of the cyberattack on EMA revealed that some of the unlawfully accessed documents related to COVID-19 medicines and vaccines belonging to third parties have been leaked on the internet," EMA said today. "Necessary action is being taken by the law enforcement authorities."
"The Agency continues to fully support the criminal investigation into the data breach and to notify any additional entities and individuals whose documents and personal data may have been subject to unauthorized access."
EMA also said that European medicines regulatory network is fully functional and COVID-19 evaluation and approval timelines are not affected by the incident.
On December 31st, BleepingComputer became aware of threat actors leaking what they claimed was the stolen EMA data on several hacker forums. Below is a screenshot of one of the leaks seen by BleepingComputer at the time.
The hacked files show that the clinical vaccines had 78% RNA integrity which dropped to only 55% in the commercial batches:

Actually, I am not delusional, I am informed, by minoring in biochem in college, and knowing what an mRNA vaccine is. You however have zero idea how any of this works, and are spouting fearmongering garbage and misinformation.
I know you'll completely ignore it, since not only does it not fit your narrative. Your narrative being you don't want to admit you're an idiot.
the vaccine is not new, and is not a new method. it is not a traditional vaccine, like the Bell's Palsy one (varicella) that you're talking about. This is a short snippet of RNA, and that snippet makes a single protein - the spike protein in the virus. There is no virus, or anything else in the vaccine that does anything but make this protein. after about a day, the vaccine is used up, and what's not used up gets destroyed by being exposed to your body chemicals and temperature. Note how all these vaccines need to be stored super-frozen? well your body is very hot inside. after a couple of days, there is no trace of anything from this vaccine in your body.
your body then detects this protein, which doesn't do anything on its own. your immune system eats the protein, and you shit it out over the next two weeks. at that point, there is no trace of this inert protein left in your body.
The side effects are from your immune system making extra blood cells to eat the protein. The vaccine is 100% safe.
Gullible? Why, because we know what we're talking about and believe scientists who have studied mRNA vaccines for over a decade? Gullible because we don't read some fat redneck in a suit spouting conspiracy theories on newsmax? Gullible because we don't drink bleach and hand sanitizer?
You are literally a moron.

Your genome is like 10% retroviruses. These produce reverse transcriptase that turns any RNA they find in the cell into DNA. They are especially active when there is a lot of cell division. Ie cancer, pregnancy, growing children, healing, etc.

but nothing is turned into DNA for a new cell - that DNA is not incorporated into your genome. It'll be a small random snippet of DNA - and the only thing that DNA can do is split back up into RNA and make that spike protein.
you have millions of random RNA fragments entering your body every day. what you're saying is if I eat a pig, I'm going to now have pig dna in my cells. that's just funny and ridiculous and false.

If you inject pig RNA enveloped in liposomes into your body then yes eventually some of it will be reverse transcribed and integrated into the genome of your cells. If you are lucky it will get into a sperm, placental, etc cell too. But who knows how frequent this is since they didn't check.
RNA in food isn't going to survive very long.

>RNA in food isn't going to survive very long.
as opposed to RNA that has to be stored at -100 degrees or it breaks down within hours? ok pigboy. i get it, you got some pig dna incorporated into your braincells. keep making up pseudoscience.
btw, no, if we inject pig dna, we will not get pig genome in our cells. that only worked for you, and you appear to be one step below human on the evolutionary scale. keep being scared, don't take the vaccine. what i fully support is people's right to choose, completely irrelevant of how stupid their decisions may be.

What do you think the liposomes are for?

to put a bag around shit. not to keep an mrna sample at -97 degrees for several days so it doesn't get destroyed. any more bright questions skippy? did they use those big nasty liposomes to insert pig dna into your genome? what bad people.

"It's like an M&M," Timothy Lise, PharmD, executive director of pharmacy services for New Jersey's Atlantic Health System, where he has served an integral role in distributing the COVID-19 vaccine, tells Health. "If you have chocolate in your hand, it's going to melt, but with the candy coating on the outside, it doesn't."

which is a terrible comparison - a bag is much more apt. if mrna was protected from high temperature by the envelope, it wouldn't need to be stored frozen. you know, because it's already in the bag when in the vial. but that bag is there to protect it from everything else that's not temperature - like liquids of the solution it's in, other mrna fragments, and particulate matter and ions in the solution and in blood.

Reverse transcriptase proteins require special patterns to be present in the RNA in order to work. It doesn't just work on any old sequence it finds. If that were not the case, all RNA sequences including those from viral vector vaccines and any other source would have the same risk of endogenous DNA propagation and our genome would have far more than they do now from just ERVs.

You are hardly understand how this vaccine works.
You are insane if you said vaccine is 100% safe. Nothing can be 100% safe.
Yes, RNA is used to synthesize modified covid spike protein inside your cells.
But your need to deliver vaccine RNA inside the cells.
All approved vaccines using edited Adenovirus for that.
Due to modifications Adenovirus can not reproduce but should penetrate cell membrane more efficiently.
This is very roughly how it works.
Now that can go wrong:
1. Hypothetically delivery Adenovirus can start to do something not expected and bad due to hybridization inside the cells. Highly unlikely. Only concern is that we are using this tech for the first time for mass vaccination.
2. Adenovirus can cause a high fever. Like 39C. Effect is limited because modified virus can't reproduce. But high temperature is well known side effect. If you are not healthy this can be fatal. Already unhealthy heart or another organ can fail.
3. Immune system can overreact to anything: supplementary liquid, Adenovirus, spike protein. They control immediate allergic shock by asking you stay near for 15 minutes after vaccination.
4. Due to weaken immunity system after vaccination it is more likely to get bacterial infection. People don't die from flu, you know. They die from additional conditions.
So be aware, be mindful. Go for vaccination as healthy as possible. Don't go if you was ill recently. If you have chronic conditions think twice and consider options.
And don't say bullshit about 100% safe.

>You are hardly understand
finish english, then take 8th grade biology, then finish high school in not alabama, then take some biochemistry in college like i did, then i might bother reading what you say.
>All approved vaccines using edited Adenovirus for that.
this is false. mRNA vaccines have zero to do with Adenovirus. you literally don't even have a "read the wiki entry" level knowledge of the subject, yet are here making bullshit fearmongering claims, which result in people ending up dead or sick if they listen to you.
>So be aware, be mindful. Go for vaccination as healthy as possible. Don't go if you was ill recently. If you have chronic conditions think twice and consider options.
under no circumstances follow any of this advice. and wtf is this rant about chronic conditions? what does that have to do w/ anything?
people giving advice should have advanced knowledge of the subject matter. the idiot giving advice here wants to feel smart after watching a youtube video by another idiot like himself, but has zero idea of even the basics of anything. if you're able to survive being sick with the common cold for one day, go get the vaccine as soon as you can, and let this guy and his parents get sick and hopefully die.
