Are you aware that the JnJ and Astra Zeneca vaccines are adenovirus vector vaccines?
And that adenovirus vector technology for vaccines and gene therapy is basically the same?
(I’m Watching for straw man approach and and other spin dr techniques. This noob is tricky.)
Yes, right along with the Sputnik V Russian vaccine, the Chinese Convidicea vaccine, the Italian GRAd-COV2 vaccine candidate, the California based ImmunityBio vaccine candidate, and about a dozen others. Lots of different kinds of vaccines have been developed for COVID-19.
"And that adenovirus vector technology for vaccines and gene therapy is basically the same?"
They're not, actually. It's a completely different setup if you want to make a vaccine versus doing any sort of gene therapy. Gene therapy requires a whole host of tools to be involved since you need a transport mechanism into the nucleus, you need enzymatic function to unwind DNA, you need to make selective cuts in the DNA, something to perform the inserts, something to make repairs, etc. None of that is needed for vaccines.
"Viral vector" as a technology platform has a lot of different applications. Demonizing the entire platform because you don't like how some people have chosen to use the technology is like demonizing all guns because some people use them for murder.
