Then using your definition viruses do “gene therapy” since they get your cell machinery to produce the proteins that they want, new copies of the virus.
“Many have rejected the term “vaccine”.
There’s plenty of ignorant people sharing opinions. Vaccines do exactly one thing: they train your immune system to recognize an antigen and create an antibody to fight it.
In the past we had to use lab techniques to create antigens and then inject them. But viruses didn’t need labs. Wild viruses would use mRNA to get your cells to make more viruses. But we lacked the knowhow to use that same mRNA to protect you. At least until Malone figured out how to save mRNA from destruction in your bloodstream.
The covid mRNA vaccines do the same thing that the wild viruses do. But instead of generating the entire virus they build only a portion, the spike protein. Your immune system learns it, and builds antibodies to destroy it.
People who get natural immunity from catching covid get that natural immunity courtesy of virus’ mRNA. That doesn’t scare them, probably because none of them know that the virus is basically made of mRNA. But when they hear “mRNA vaccine” they run in terror and we are all going to die.

But the spike protein itself is toxic. The spike is what makes the SARS-CoV-2 lethal to humans (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), most likely the result of bioengineering at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The experimental Covid-19 “vaccine” induces the body to produce billions of spikes that circulate throughout the body including past the blood-brain barrier, causing inflammation, blood clots and a progressively weakened immune system.
The mRNA-based treatments cannot keep up with the mutation rate of the spike, creating a condition known as Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), increasing the likelihood of being infected and in many cases, increasing the severity of the infection.
