I have been in an ongoing debate with 2 purported Freeper “Doctors“ telling me I am stupid, idiotic, and a dullard for saying this new generation of Covid-19 vaccines will have the ability to edit our genes using CRISPR Technology. They offer no Factual evidence to support their assertions. They merely tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about, but they do because they are “Doctors”.

So I send them Articles like this PROVING researchers and scientists are using Gene Editing CRISPR technology in vaccine development. Once again, I am called stupid, because they are Doctors and I am not. Perhaps I should not believe my “lying eyes?”

According to the linked article, no gene editing is happening inside any living human being.

The research is focused on three main areas:

1) Developing a rapid test so that samples submitted to a lab can be quickly screened for possible COVID-19 infection

2) In lab experiments using human cells in a culture to better understand how SARS-CoV-2 infects human cells.

3) Research for future projects looking at various possible methods for destroying the virus. In theory, this could include something like a modified virus that selectively attacks and destroys already-infected cells, cutting short viral replication. It could mean other things too, but there’s nothing specific at this point. It’s purely basic research.

None of this has anything to do with editing a living human being’s DNA. There would be no purpose for that, nothing to gain, everything to lose. You can’t edit DNA in such a way to mind control people or make them sprout wings. That’s not how it works.
