- casefields 6y agoThat's true, but also true in general which is why we have a National Vaccine Injury Fund aka vaccine court: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Injury_Compensation_Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Injury_Compen...
- benevol 6y agoPlus the fact that they want us to let them hack our DNA. It's a bit like giving them root to the OS of my being.
- fsh 6y agoNo, mRNA is not DNA.
- abiogenesis 6y agoNot that I agree with the parent but isn't technically mRNA used to "hack" DNA to make it synthesize a specific protein?
- detaro 6y agono. DNA doesn't synthesize proteins. Roughly: Protein descriptions are "read" from DNA into mRNA, which is then used by ribosomes to synthesize proteins. An mRNA vaccine adds additional mRNA with instructions to synthesize the vaccine-specific protein to the cells. So it uses some of the same mechanisms that are also used to generate proteins from DNA, but does not involve DNA itself.
- programmarchy 6y agoRight. This process happens outside of the nucleus of the cell. Perhaps people are getting mRNA vaccines confused with CRISPR, which _is_ a technique to modify DNA.
