The JnJ and AZ ‘vaccines’ are absolutely gene therapy. They use the adenovirus vector gene therapy approach.
The mRNA vaccines are in more of a gray area, as far as being labeled gene therapy. It is new technology. And the approach basically starts a couple steps down the gene therapy path, reaching the same end, which is getting human cells to express viral genes. (So you body can develop antibodies to these viral proteins.
The adenovirus vector approach adds recombinant DNA from a virus and some engineering to human cells.
I've read several articles from pro-Covid vaccine activists bragging that they were delighted he was stripped of his license to pratice medicine.
The article attackin him (not a recommendation) linked below is particularly rabid in it's bias. The HATRED is strong in them.
I wondered what else he did to make them angrier than usual. Whatever it was, it appears he's still doing it.
I want to find the video he mentions in the one I'll link here. The video is 10 minutes in length and is hosted in NewTube.app, so I didn't realize the timing track is above the video. You can start and stop the video by clicking within the video image.
Dr. Wakefield warns=”This is not a Vax, it is irreversible genetic modification” - NewTube
"Andrew Wakefield, the godfather of the modern anti-vaccine movement, is spreading disinformation about the COVID vaccine, falsely claiming that the mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer and Moderna are a form of genetic engineering. Like all good liars, he mixes a tiny bit of truth into a sea of lies."

Here's an excerpt of the "Fraud Doctor" article:
As if he hasn't done enough damage already, he's back, this time spreading blatant disinformation about the COVID vaccines that utilize mRNA. (As a reminder, here's how an mRNA vaccine works.) A video of an interview with him on NewTube was circulating on Twitter. Let's dissect the lies. Like all good liars, he starts off well enough:
"Messenger RNA is an intermediary between the gene and the product, the protein. It's the protein that ultimately elicits the immune response."
So far, so good. Wakefield demonstrates a baseline understanding of Biology 101, namely that genes encode proteins via messenger RNA. But he quickly goes off the rails.
"By definition, an RNA vaccine isn't a vaccine at all because it doesn't elicit an immune response. It has to be turned into protein, and it's the protein in turn that creates the immune response."
Huh? Wakefield just said (correctly) that the RNA vaccine makes the cell produce a protein that elicits an immune response. Now, he says that the RNA vaccine isn't a real vaccine because it elicits an immune response indirectly rather than directly. This is nonsensical and self-contradictory. Regardless of mechanism, anything that intentionally elicits an immune response can be thought of as a vaccine.
"A messenger RNA vaccine is actually genetic engineering. That's what it is."
No, it's not. This is a gigantic lie. Wakefield is purposefully misusing the term "genetic engineering," which involves the permanent alteration of an organism's genetic material. That is accomplished by changing the DNA. Messenger RNA vaccines do not do that. Furthermore, there is no biologically plausible way for them to do that.
"What could possibly go wrong? You have cells in your own body that are producing protein to which your immune system is going to mount an immune response. That's called an autoimmune disease."

I don't know much about Wakefield, but so far he has the right enemies and he rang the alarm early, was canceled (med license) as a result, and returned in December to sound the alarm again.
