It will be a cold day in Hell before I am vaccinated for this virus. I’m really not comfortable with my DNA being changed.

Anyway, I don’t need the dangerous vaccine. This virus isn’t a threat to me.

A) It isn’t changing your DNA. It isn’t going to turn you into a wombat or a unicorn or one of the lizard people. The leading vaccine from Oxford is a traditional gen1/gen2 vaccine. It presents a non-infectious virus with the SARS-CoV-2 antigens to the body so it can be destroyed and the immune system trained for future encounters.

The one from Moderna doesn’t alter anything either; it merely presents the instructions for building antigens to your body. Your body produces the antigens, your immune system recognizes them as foreign and destroys them. You build immunity as part of that process just as you would naturally. It’s like being exposed to the virus without the infectious parts of the virus.

But none of the vaccine candidates change your DNA. That isn’t what they do. That isn’t what any vaccine does. There would be no point in doing so. It would accomplish nothing. This isn’t a genetic abnormality that could possibly be corrected with such a thing. It’s a virus that your immune system needs to build immunity to.

B) There is no vaccine yet. There are over 140 vaccine candidates. There are 5 leading candidates including the Moderna vaccine candidate and the Oxford vaccine candidate. You’re claiming something is dangerous that doesn’t even yet exist.

C) The vaccine candidates are undergoing the exact same trials as any other vaccine does. President Trump has merely removed the bureaucratic red tape that normally holds up the process. Phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 human trials are all ongoing. Phase 3 trials involve over 100,000 volunteers. The vaccine candidates are checked for both safety and efficacy, just as they always are.

"Changing your DNA"?

err.. no, it's not going to mutate you into Cyclops or Wolverine.
