“ Cool!... then we can agree that it’s NOT a stretch to call the covid-19 MRNA injections synthetic biology.”

No.

Not accurate.

>>> Not accurate.

According to the developers, the MRNA genetic sequence used in the lipid nanoparticle is derived by computer. It’s not naturally occurring. I heard this for myself from one of the manufacturers during an interview who stated at one point “We download the genetic sequence from the CHINESE SERVERS and put it into our process here”.

It’s synthetic. Lipids probably are too.

That means they’re chemicals.

Like most drugs.

Some drugs are not synthetic in that they are grown in cell culture, not synthesized chemically.

These vaccines are synthetic but are not synthetic biology, which means something else,

Interesting that the usual slurpers aren’t on this thread. The article poster seems to post lots on this topic. Not sure the reason or agenda.

What’s a slurper?

Someone who kneels to the powerful/elite edicts/commands and well makes slurping sounds ….

What does it mean then?

How can something which alters genetic structure NOT be considered biological?

ROFL!

Kamala came to mind.

Because it itself is not a biological entity.

It obviously has biological effects, but so do all drugs.

Synthetic biology example is a bacterium synthesized to make certain molecules.

Here’s a link to one of the basic beginnings of the field.

Entity meaning “life”?

In that regard, I would have to agree that the spike proteins created by living cells from a computer generated mrna sequence does not qualify, because they are not self sustaining or “alive”.

However, once you start messing with the most basic building blocks of life itself, it seems to me you are dealing with a biological entity... partial or whole... living or dead.

The term itself seems so oxymoronic to me...

Synthetic = made by man
Biological = made by God

Has man actually created life? or just manipulated it using God’s software?

A lot of non-biological things made by God.

And even synthetic biology isn’t made by man. It takes what God made and modified it with synthetic components.

“ Has man actually created life? or just manipulated it using God’s software?”

So as you can see, it’s the latter.

Yes. She is a slurper for real. We have mental/political slurpers running around here on FR pushing all kinds of crazy DS lies slurping away. Mainly find them on Ukrainian and COVID threads.

Yes... but even those things were created to support life.

So.. here is where I see we are... Synthetic Biology doesn’t even exist. It just means something man has not yet achieved.

As such, when he (man) modifies biology or synthesizes parts of it, he calls it synthetic biology even though it is not because it is not an entity that was exclusively created by man.

Here’s an interesting example... one I mentioned before...

If as God says “The life is in the blood”, then would synthetic blood qualify as synthetic biology?

If so, why not a synthetic virus?... What difference is there between a synthetic virus, and a synthetic bacterium?
