I don't really understand the science here, so I'm hoping you'll clarify for the lay-people like me.
Setting the technical issues aside, what's the bottom line? I think OP's general point was: "This is not dangerous in the way some people believe it to be dangerous".
Do any of your corrections change that outcome/conclusion in a meaningful way?
(I'm not asking to call your comment into question, but because I don't know how to adapt my understanding based on these two comments).
- kaba0 5y agoI think wizzwizz4 only corrected the (quite big) factual problems of the grandparent. But about the claim of “the vaccine can modify our DNA”, I think this reply is great: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27467454 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27467454 Basically, while there are known mechanisms for mRNAs to getting converted to DNA, these quite complex mechanisms don’t just exist there. And the mRNA injected gets destroyed in ~half an hour. Basically, if there would be a constantly working mechanism for converting mRNA to DNA, our genome would constantly grow significantly since all sorts of mRNAs are constantly created inside cells.
