Here is an article that debukes that the mRNA vaccines are gene therapy. I apologize if you don't think the source I used is reliable. I did look up the bias rating on Forbes and they are middle of the road so really no bias there...............
Covid-19 mRNA Vaccines Are Not ‘Gene Therapy,’ As Some Are Claiming |
There is an article on the CDC web site that clearly explains how mRNA vaccines such as the COVID vaccine work. Put simply, when you are given an mRNA vaccine it goes to our cells and creates a protein or piece of a protein. Our bodies recognize the protein, which in this case is a “spike protein similar to the spikes found on the COVID virus. Our bodies recognize the protein should not be there and thus creates an immune response which produces antibodies. When the real virus enters our body the antibodies are there to kill the virus. The mRNA never penetrates the nucleus of the cell where our DNA is stored so it does not effect our DNA and is thus not gene therapy.
