Covid Vaccines Don’t Alter Your DNA – They Help Choose Cells To Strengthen Your Immune Response (by altering your DNA)
Forbes ^ | 11 29 2021 | Steven Salzberg

Posted on 11/29/2021 9:53:06 PM PST by yesthatjallen

One of the common tropes among anti-vaxxers lately is that the Covid-19 vaccine “changes your DNA.” Oh, the horrors!

Do they even know what they mean by that? Almost certainly not. Anti-vaxxers generally have no idea how biology works; often they are so confused that I’m tempted to say they are not even wrong. Even when they are right about something, it’s for the wrong reasons.

Many articles have already been posted explaining that the vaccine can’t alter your DNA, including a wildly popular piece at Forbes and explainers by the CDC and UNICEF.

So let’s dig into this strange notion that the vaccine changes your DNA. First, let’s look at what the CDC has to say:

“Will a COVID-19 vaccine alter my DNA? No. COVID-19 vaccines do not change or interact with your DNA in any way. Both mRNA and viral vector COVID-19 vaccines deliver instructions (genetic material) to our cells to start building protection against the virus that causes COVID-19. However, the material never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA is kept.”

I see what they’re getting at here. They’re partly right, but in an attempt to give a simple “no” answer, the CDC got it wrong. It’s true that Covid-19 vaccines don’t directly alter your DNA, and it’s true that they don’t invade the cell nucleus, where your DNA resides. But that’s not the full story.

"So back to our original question: does the Covid-19 vaccine change your DNA? Not directly, no. But yes, thanks to your own immune system, your DNA is a tiny bit altered after you get any vaccine. Your DNA is also changed every time you recover from an infection, including the common cold. But the only change is in the DNA of a tiny number of immune cells, which hang around as guardians against future infections. And that’s a good thing."

I don't have to read past that. Mocking the idea that changing your DNA is bad is about as dumb as dumb gets. Nothing trustworthy can come after such an imbecilic and totally unnecessary remark as that.

It would work well for a teenage girl in a verbal cat fight though.

They are lying

Technically it is possible for the mrna information to be integrated into your cell dna.

Reverse-transcribed SARS-CoV-2 RNA can integrate into the genome of cultured human cells and can be expressed in patient-derived tissues:

As a real scientist, my view of biology majors [including most medical doctors] is that they're trained seals who can memorize stuff, and regurgitate that stuff on tests.

Biology is not hard.

Unless it changes your immune cell DNA to attack your own body, basically creating an autoimmune disorder.

“Many articles have already been posted explaining that the vaccine can’t alter your DNA”

That’s not really known for sure.

The answer to the question should be to cite pre-clinical studies done with the vaccines and related RNA in the same liposomes that did not find any integration in to the model animal genome.

I am not sure these studies were done or not.

Funny is when he says your DNA is altered when you get a vaccine or recover from infection, it is nonsense.

He’s as big an idiot as those he calls idiots.

Hear one, Hear all,
I have a vaccine that will prevent pregnancies. Now listen, after the jab, YOU could still get pregnant, But if you use a condom, the risk will be reduced, you will need to keep using condoms, and face masks (improved chance of contact), oh and avoiding other humans will reduce the chance of contracting pregnancy...

“I’ll be back in three months with a new booster” Fauci the fake.

This is crushing:
https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/moderna-ceo-says-vaccines-likely-less-effective-against-omicron-ft-2021-11-30/

CEO Moderna says current vax will not stop Omicron. His people are telling him there is no world in which the vax is as good as against delta, and there is just no way it is going to be good. A tailored vax will absolutely be needed ASAP, and it may be futile because this variant and its mutation total has appeared 2 years before any model predicted. A new vax maybe can’t complete testing before the next appears.

Once you get booster number 4 AND 5, that will take care of the delta and Omicron varient. After that we will rush through a new VACCINE that might keep you out of the hospital but it won’t stop you from getting sick. By the way, you will not be considered FULLY VAXXED unless you continue to take all boosters we come up with, which by the way, are all perfectly safe.

Thanks for the screenshots. Changes to doesn’t change. Media deceit in real time.

The so-called "vaccine" is a spike protein distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack agaist the ACE2 receptors on many of your critical cell types. Who the hell knows what are all the cascading orders of effects on your intracellular communications?

This does raise an interesting question.

When the mRNA vaccine enters a human cell, does it make just one copy of a pseudo-spike protein and stop, or does it keep printing pseudo-spike proteins for days or weeks?

As a trained engineer in complex control systems, I have seen nothing that makes me believe the “experts” have a clue what is real. Lots of assumptions, lots of beliefs, lots of bluster but no hard facts no hard science no real data collection no effort to understand what the truth is. Engineers design, measure and test. Nothing like that is occurring. Therefore it’s either belief, superstition or a new religion.

Agreed. My father was an engineer, and I inherited the propensities.

Well, you could have read up to this part: Your DNA is also changed every time you recover from an infection, including the common cold.

Typically among the honest researchers and doctors, their comments center on 'no one knows'. There's no real data.

One reviewer tersely said the 'vaccine' developers simply chose to believe that spike protein production lasted x number of hours and then halted.

Geert Vanden Boscche was concerned that the instructions to produce the 'vaccine' spike would simply 'out compete' other instructions, so that your immune system would be commandeered to focus more narrowly on just Covid vaccine spikes.

I've had pro vaxx apologists rage at me that 'everyone knows' that spike protein production is naturally limited etc. but that's just more wisheful thinking. NO data - no proof of when it stops.

I don’t think I follow you. The article is very accurate. Your immune cells change their DNA every time you have a cold or other exposure. That’s how the human body responds to infections. They’re called antibodies.

So where does a single strand of nucleotides get the additional nucleotides to produce a complex folded protein? Maybe not from your dna... but they are required. When bill gates called needle kneelers trans human, i did not have a good feeling. Just because they say something is untrue doesn’t mean it is.
Why not just be.. whats their word, transparent. 55 years to get all of the information released that they used to clear it in 3 months or so. Yeah, nothing is adding up. Ridicule is their weapon because somewhere they are deluded into thinking their opinion matters to me. If they are lying about 1 thing, why trust anything.
