- Redoubts 6y agoInteresting. Looks like they're talking about the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine which uses a reengineered virus as a delivery mechanism.
- 99_00 6y agoIt also says the BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna vaccines put mRNA into the cell. But I don't think it say how it's done.
- vmception 6y agoI'm glad you found an article that matches an obscure academic use of the term, retroactively, as you started this thread with a question.
- 99_00 6y agoThat's not what happened. When I google "vaccine reprogram cells" it is on the first page. So, not sure how obscure it is.
- vmception 6y agoI'm saying you started this thread with a question because you didn't already know the answer and then you found an academic use of the term that matches your conclusion after being challenged about the obscurity of the use of the term. this is an obscure use of the term "genetic engineering" which would be limited to academic circles.
