Home Israel will issue “green passports” to those residents who get a nanotechnology-based vaccine with the luciferase enzyme that alters human DNA. A swab stick is used not for taking a nasal smear, but for implanting nanotechnology in humans during COVID-19 testing, from where “nanoparticles” enter the brain.

FALSE: Israel will issue “green passports” to those residents who get a nanotechnology-based vaccine with the luciferase enzyme that alters human DNA. A swab stick is used not for taking a nasal smear, but for implanting nanotechnology in humans during COVID-19 testing, from where “nanoparticles” enter the brain.

Explanation: COVID-19 vaccine does not contain luciferase. RNA-based COVID-19 vaccine cannot alter human genome or DNA. Taking a smear in PCR testing is absolutely safe, because the blood–brain barrier protects the central nervous system from harmful agents.
