Like your Neanderthal gene that either protects you from covid or makes shit worse... Over 60,000 years ago (yes covid is even older..) Hows that work if altering RNA (mRNA therapy aka covid vaccine) cannot change your DNA, when your DNA is all paternal?...

It doesn't work like that. You can't "alter" your mRNA because mRNA doesn't exist in the cell like DNA does. Genes are transcribed from DNA to mRNA during transcription.
I understand it goes fr dna to rna but how do we pass on these environmentally given traits/immunities then Also that messenger rna seems different then rna..
"Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to one of the DNA strands of a gene"
You can have epigenetic changes that get passed on from mother to child. These are caused by dip switches that get added to the egg cell when in the mother's ovaries. In the recombination process most of these are removed but they can be snapped back on again after in the fertilized ovum while its in the bootstrapping process to get to a blastocyst.
By the time it gets going - the blastocyst itself will be managing its own dip switches.
