Could mRNA Vaccines Permanently Alter DNA? Recent Science Suggests They Might.
The Defender ^ | 4/8/21 | Children’s Health team

Posted on 04/08/2021 3:37:15 PM PDT by delta7

Research on SARS-CoV-2 RNA by scientists at Harvard and MIT has implications for how mRNA vaccines could permanently alter genomic DNA, according to Doug Corrigan, Ph.D., a biochemist-molecular biologist who says more research is needed.... Reverse transcription

As the phrase “reverse transcription” implies, the DNA-to-mRNA pathway is not always a one-way street. Enzymes called reverse transcriptases can also convert RNA into DNA, allowing the latter to be integrated into the DNA in the cell nucleus.

Nor is reverse transcription uncommon. Geneticists report that “Over 40% of mammalian genomes comprise the products of reverse transcription.”

The preliminary evidence cited by the Harvard-MIT researchers indicates that endogenous reverse transcriptase enzymes may facilitate reverse transcription of coronavirus RNAs and trigger their integration into the human genome.

The authors suggest that while the clinical consequences require further study, detrimental effects are a distinct possibility and — depending on the integrated viral fragments’ “insertion sites in the human genome” and an individual’s underlying health status — could include “a more severe immune response … such as a ‘cytokine storm’ or auto-immune reactions.”

In 2012, a study suggested that viral genome integration could “lead to drastic consequences for the host cell, including gene disruption, insertional mutagenesis and cell death.”

Corrigan makes a point of saying that the pathways hypothesized to facilitate retro-integration of viral — or vaccine — RNA into DNA “are not unknown to people who understand molecular biology at a deeper level.”

Well, well , well. mRNA tech has been around for a decade- all attempts failed and not approved until big pharma pursued it.

Even so, the preprint’s discussion of reverse transcription and genome integration elicited a maelstrom of negative comments from readers unwilling to rethink biological dogma, some of whom even advocated for retraction (though preprints are, by definition, unpublished) on the grounds that “conspiracy theorists … will take this paper to ‘proof’ that mRNA vaccines can in fact alter your genetic code.”

So should I have trusted the science then? Or can I trust it now? Or should I wait until the future?

Once they mapped the human genome, they decided to change it.

So my mutant superpowers should start manifesting after the second dose, correct?

If the vaccines were called what they really are - genetic engineering using a product approved by the FDA only for emergency use without any knowledge of long term side effects if any - people might be a little more wary. But call them vaccines and people just shrug.

They’ll figure it out as they go along and gather more test data.

Well, once you get there, you won't have anything to worry about since you survived all this nonsense. So, if you stop worrying, then perhaps you are there?!

“Flying cars.”

Touchy subject. I was promised this and moon bases when I was a kid. This has resulted in a fair amount of latent resentment

Mine did.

In order for this to happen Covid-19 SARC-2 virus should possess a gene for enzyme reverse transcriptase (as in retrovirus HIV). It doesn’t have this gene. At the same time human cells do not have genes coding reverse transcriptases. So, what mechanism do you propose for Covid-19 SARC-2 being able to alter human DNA?

Imagine if they found the “God Gene” and managed to “tweak” it into a “Big Government” / “Hive Mind” - Gene.

Shrug would be good. Flocking to the government’s trough, and bragging about being responsible, is what worries me.
Never would I have believed you could get these numbers of folks to accept a crapshoot vaccination, for a virus that is 99.7% survivable. Insane!

Just a word of caution.

If you’re already dead, you’ll be the last to know.
