Peter, ich bin auf dem Gebiet Laie, aber so wie es hier erklärt ist, scheint das Risiko nicht zu bestehen "Dass auch die Informationen aus mRNA-Impfstoffen ins menschliche Erbgut gelangen könnten, halten Forscher dagegen für unwahrscheinlich. Denn für den Start der reversen Transkription wird stets ein sogenannter Primer benötigt, an dem das Enzym ansetzen kann. Auch Chandramouly und Kollegen setzten für alle Experimente entsprechende Primer zu, damit Polymerase theta die gewünschten Sequenzen übersetzte. Die Impfstoffe liefern eine solche Startsequenz nicht mit und bieten somit nach aktuellem Kenntnisstand keinen Ansatzpunkt für Polymerase theta oder eine reverse Transkriptase." https://www.scinexx.de/news/medizin/menschliche-zellen-rna-zu-dna-geht-doch/

are all the shots RNA @TraderJack ?

well I mean...I guess technically if you could use messenger RNA for all sorts of nefarious shit

nvcr is a high growth med tech, gwph is a super underpriced but doesnt get much love has a few approved drugs most notably the only fda approved cbd drug, alny has a bunch of approved rna thearuptics and is still pretty cheap so good play on genetics

I expect the truth is there are a number of variants, happens to every corona virus..RNA virus. Need to stop barking up trees and get on with things

its a non story. Its a RNA virus mutate is what they do, but they to go from more deadly to less deadly. Spanish Flu is still here its just not very deadly anymore
