The study didn’t even look to see if RNA from vaccines were being integrated.
It looked at samples from people who have had Covid.
SARS viruses are RNA viruses. They are not retroviruses, like Aids virus, which are also RNA viruses that do integrate their RNA sequences in to the DNA of the host. RNA viruses that are not retroviruses are not expected to integrate their sequences in to the host genome.
This study looked to see if Sars2 viral RNA sequences had been integrated in to the cells of people who’ve had Covid and found that, yes, bits and pieces of the viral RNA sequences are found in the infected person’s cell’s genomic DNA.
The most integrated was a gene in Sars2 called the N gene.
A similar study could be done for vaccinated people who did not have Covid to see if vaccine RNA sequences were integrated in to the vaccinated person’s genome, but a sample repository doesn’t exist. But, the vaccine developers should have done this under FDA regulatory review as part of the approval process. I don’t know if they did or didn’t, though.

Is the COVID-19 virus a SARS virus or a retrovirus? This question shows my ignorance in these matters, so please bear with me.

Is the COVID-19 virus a Sars2 virus? Sorry, same ignorance...

To be fair, this study didn’t show that the RNA from the current vaccines is being integrated into our DNA. However, they did show, quite convincingly, that there exists a viable cellular pathway whereby snippets of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA could become integrated into our genomic DNA. In my opinion, more research is needed to both corroborate these findings, and to close some gaps.So what was the actual conflation that you alluded to in your first post on the study? It seems that what you just described to me is what the author wrote in his article.
Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me, BTW.
