Exactly WHAT does the vaccine change in our dna? As many times as I have heard,

Last edited Fri Aug 13, 2021, 06:12 PM - Edit history (1)

"it changes your dna," I do not recall a single example of exactly WHAT is changed, or how. Have I simply missed ths in the ongoing avalanche of news?

ETA; I really did not think that I needed the sarcasm icon, but, clearly, I was mistaken.

As do all viruses… they take over a cell and reprogram the cell to become a virus factory. The white blood cells are then left to clean up the mess by consuming all the reprogrammed cells.

It's called 'messenger RNA' (mRNA) because it contains the instructions to utilize the accompanying water, sugar, salt, fat, and a chunk of protein, to construct what mimics the business-end of the Covid-19 virus, resulting in your immune system attacking it and learning how to kill it, without being overwhelmed as would happen with the real virus, so when next it encounters the real virus it can quickly destroy it.

I understand that it is mRNA technology that has no effect on changing dna, but thank you for the science.

I have started growing my hair back, I lost weight, I look and feel younger, and certain private parts of my body have grown by 50%. I am sure it is due to the vaccine. That is why we need to do everything in our power to keep the vaccine away from the right. One thing that we don't need is a far-right party of white Supermen.

It's messenger RNA, a molecule which doesn't even enter the nucleus of the cell, where your DNA lives.

mRNA floats around in the intracellular/extranuclear part of your cell, and triggers the cell to make bits of spike protein just like the COVID's spike protein. This spike protein then pokes out of your cell and triggers the immune system to make antibodies to it.

That's it.

No DNA effects.

...but I thought some details might be useful to DUers who find themselves confronting this nonsense in people they know.

Don't tell the right-wingers, though, or there will be a stampede to the vaccination sites.

react to, and destroy the Covid virus.

If you want to know more study immunology.
