Read e.g. the canadian guidelines vor clinical trials from 2013, (2.3.2) or DDG "Contraceptive Guidance clinical trials" This is just good scientific practice in clinical trials. Those are trials where scientist try out new stuff and any unwanted spreading of the substance, to persons that are not in the testgroup and not monitored, especialy to pregnant women shall be prevented. This is true for any clinical trial. And the trials are over. #trollhunting #FIGHTFUD

Inform yourself about the dogma of genetics concerning information flow (spoiler: oneway) . mRNA can't be integrated in DNA. So no: we don't bother pianos falling from the sky either. You mean Crispr.
Nyt has a very informative site on that, use the .onion to avoid paywall

This is actually possible and has happend in evolution of Womankind (8% of human genes come from virii and build important parts of the immunesystem) But the current mRNA vaccines against Sars-Cov2 lack this ability" First, safety: as mRNA is a non-infectious, non-integrating platform, there is no potential risk of infection or insertional mutagenesis." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/…

@Striped Guys One thing that does appear to be an issue so far is immunogenicity of RNA. There have been a number of recipients of the pfizer vaccine that have gone into anaphylaxis. There was also a nurse that developed Bells Palsy afterwards, and one who fainted and a doctor who died. These things aren't making me feel real confident that this tech is ready for prime time.
