Deep States all over the globe are wresting control from their citizenry.

That’s the engame: Total control.

These folks have far too much invested into the governments mandates and countermeasures to admit theyve failed us. Its more than simple gaslighting though. Its a willful ignorance and its a trademark of the left since Donald Trump took office in 2016 but also a hatred being driven daily by the data which shows practically every promise and piece of guidance these “experts” meted out was entirely wrong each step along the way. The more wrong they are proven ,the more resistant the left gets. Its pathological really.

Of course. Total control. And they don’t care how many are killed in the process. Just a few broken eggs, you know. I hate these people.

No, that isn’t what the linked article said. You left out these kinds of statements.

“Again, this is a theoretical exercise I am presenting for consideration. I am not making the claim that an mRNA vaccine will permanently alter your genomic DNA, and I didn’t make this claim in my first article, although it appears that troll sites made the fallacious claim that I did.”

You’ll note that he accuses others (troll sites) of making the claim you just made.

Also this: “Through their experiments, they did not find full-length viral RNA integrated into genomic DNA; rather, they found smaller segments of the viral DNA, mostly representing the nucleocapsid (N) protein of the virus, although other viral segments were found integrated into human DNA at a lower frequency.”

Yours is a joke rebuttal.
The statements you reference are part of the article. An article which is summarized by what I posted. I post the article link just so people who are interested can read the entire thing.
Rather than hiding anything I apply sunlight and lay out the whole article. Were I you I would be ashamed to purposely spin to hide the facts as you have done on this issue.

Then why did you ‘spin’ and leave out the parts that I posted, parts that severely weakened your claims.

It’s spin to pretend that when someone posts an excerpt that summarizes the article & links to the article they are hiding something because they didn’t post the bits that you cherry picked & posted without context because you thought you could fool people into not reading the article & into believing that there is no research confirming a mechanism whereby mRNA can change DNA.

You are fooling yourself or are unable to comprehend the science if you think what you posted weakens the conclusion of the article & the Harvard team that there a discrete mechanism whereby m-RNA can change DNA has been confirmed.
