The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In fact, if particles of DNA from vaccines were to make it into the nucleus (they don't), they don't have enzymes which are integrases necessary to be combined with the host DNA. So there are multiple reasons why they cannot combine with the host DNA.

I occasionally pop over to TMF to ask questions. AJ is still there, for example. And -rarely- albaby makes an appearance. I came across a post by btresist regarding mRNA. For those who don't know/remember, he's a research geneticist of some sort. Basically, the mRNA isn't really a problem. It can't mess with DNA (as you just said also), and is effective in getting the immune system to attack it (which is the whole point of a vaccine). He didn't comment on it, but I did read an article that indicated the mRNA vaccines don't generate long-lasting antibodies (i.e. it wears off after a while, unlike smallpox or polio). I don't understand why that would be, but I'm not a geneticist or immunologist.
