It doesn't modify or even touch your genes. Anyone saying this is an idiot and hasn't even tried to learn about how the vaccine actually works.
For those who need an explanation;
In normal cellular function (not talking about the vaccine yet) a gene is read from your DNA and the instruction in the gene is copied to a bit of messenger RNA. That mRNA is moved out of the nucleus where the DNA is, into the rest of your cell (the cytoplasm) that is like a soup full of various molecules, enzymes, mitochondria, etc... there a ribosome (an enzyme) reads the mRNA and according to its instructions grabs amino acids out of the soup and strings them into a chain. When done the chain folds into a protein. The mRNA then dissolves.
This is what your cells are doing trillions of times a day all the time.
Now in the vaccine, we skip straight to the mRNA step, which we make ourselves to code for a single protein. In this case one protein from the spike on the surface of the coronavirus. Not the whole virus, not enough to rebuild the virus, etc. Just a tiny piece of it that is enough for your immune system to recognize it, remember it, and be able to recognize it again if it shows up as part of the real virus later on so that it can quickly get to work cleaning it out before you get sick.
The mRNA doesn't read your DNA, certainly doesn't change your DNA, doesn't go close to your DNA, etc. It is just read to make a protein just like mRNA is all the time in your cells every day. We're just saying which protein to make. That's it.
There are also no changes to your immune system. This functions just like any other vaccine, which rely on the same method of your immune system recognizing and remembering all (in a weakened or disabled form) or part of a pathogen (in this case called an antigen) in order to be able to recognize it again when the real live version shows up.
All we've done is changed how the antigen gets there. Instead of having to culture the actual virus, which is hard to do because viruses generally need hosts and don't grow on their own like bacteria etc... so you can't really culture a virus, you have to grow them inside host cells and then harvest them etc... instead we're just saying to the cell "hey, make this single protein for me with the mechanisms you already have doing that exact job perfectly well." Because it's a lot easier, faster, and more accurate for us to just do that than to have to grow the whole virus in some other middle man and then harvest it and make sure it's deactivated so it doesn't get you sick, etc.
We cut out all the potentially problematic stuff we don't need and create a very targeted, easy to produce, powerful way to let your immune system learn about a new potential pathogen.
Again, doesn't read your DNA. Doesn't even touch your DNA. Doesn't change your DNA. Doesn't change your immune system. Doesn't CHANGE ANYTHING about your cells or genetics other than your immune system recognizing the end protein and remembering it EXACTLY like it would with a traditional vaccine where the whole or part of the pathogen would be injected into you for the immune system to work on.
Stop spreading the lie of this being genetic modification. It absolutely isn't. It's either ignorant fear mongering, or intentional lies by people who know better... but regardless of the motivation of the person saying it, it's objectively false.
They changed the definition of vaccine to fit their agenda, just like they did with herd immunity. It now includes not just a weakened or killed pathogen, but also a part of it's structure (such as a protein or spike). How convenient. More importantly by definition a vaccine produces immunity. This experimental mRNA treatment does NOT lead to immunity.

It reprograms your RNA and it's not a vaccine.
Bullshit on both counts. I just edited my original comment to explain what it does.
Any part of that you don't understand?
It is, by the legal and common definition of a vaccine, a vaccine.
Stop repeating objectively false bullshit you read on social media without understanding.
Again, if there is some part of what I explained that you don't understand, point it out and we'll try to make it clearer for you.
