^ A better way to ask this question... If they fuck with the DNA in one person, can this be transferred to another person via transfusion, organ replacement, etc.

Please stop with this. mRNA vaccines are literally bringing the code for recognizing the virus, not rewriting DNA. Regular vaccines have normally required a live or dead virus itself to help our immune system recognize it. (Like a hound sniffing out a person it knows.) The mRNA vaccines are basically the equivalent of a hound sniffing the missing person's sweater and then going on to follow their scent and find them.

The "rewriting" is the same in both types of vaccines, if you can call it that. Our white blood cells learn how to identify the virus and are therefore prepped and ready to attack it upon future exposure.

The one real problem I see is that some people have a very strong immune response. I myself had about 24 hours of fever and chills, muscle aches, and malaise.

If I understand it correctly... a traditional vaccine will introduce a foreign body, the inactivated target virus or virus proteins. mRNA introduces a modified cell, not the target virus, that gets into your cells and has a code that induces your body to produce a protein that resembles SARS COV2. Both processes get to the same place, but I really don't trust the second method.

I wait this one out and see how this experiment plays out on the millions of subjects who took this stuff. I don't want to be a test subject.

I’ll trust my immune system to rewrite my DNA...not Big Pharma.

This week I've watched my best friend's 38 year old husband fight for his life with this virus. They are conservatives who live in a rural town. They have no agenda. He was on a ventilator for three days and remains on ECMO.

President Trump made the vaccine happen and has promoted it.

It does not rewrite your DNA. It provides information that allows your immune system to respond to a virus it doesn't even have to come into contact with directly. I also don't trust that big pharma has my best interests in mind. I do believe they have their own in mind, and nothing this vaccine would endanger any of their legacies - they can't afford that.

And fear mongering is not helpful, no matter which side is doing it.

Don’t care how you feel, I don’t trust it. Pharma worries about their legacies??!? Bruh... to each his own

I respect that, actually applaud your skepticism. My some purpose was to explain that no, mRNA isn't rewriting your DNA.

We can accept all of that. And the freedom of people to choose to take it. I personally just want the reciprocation that I won't be discriminated against if I choose to not take it

If you took it I can understand the bias towards defending it. We won't know the fall out for 6 months to years time if ever.

I was and do remain highly skeptical of it's overall performance. Buy just trying to make clear what mRNA does here.
