>Vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a pathogen when it attempts to infect the body - this is mostly done by the injection of viral antigens or weakened live viruses that stimulate an immune response through the production of antibodies
Not great for that guy’s credibility that he doesn’t even know what a DNA vaccine is. He’s described the kinds of vaccines in wide use. Not genetic vaccines, which work by introducing genetic sequences that encode the antigen, as opposed to introducing the antigen itself.
Key word being "mostly" in that quote. If you want to hear his description regarding DNA vaccines, just read the next paragraph of the article - quoted below:
“The DNA [in DNA vaccines] does not integrate into the cell nucleus so this isn’t genetic modification - if the cells divide they will only include your natural DNA. But this approach is incredibly promising for COVID because it can be scaled up very quickly, and is very versatile - it is easy to synthetically produce DNA sequences that match the required bits of viral genetic code.”
We can’t rule out reverse transcription in the human body. It’s a very real possibility that introducing RNA results in longer lasting genetic change. Probably not! But I’d rather risk covid myself. So should all fertile people. At least until we know more.
