@boykin1017 the covid virus is not in the vaccine. The m stands for messenger. It sends messenger cells. It can not alter dna. That is the beauty of the technology. It is a god given miracle that the technology of mrna was developed at penn medicine and ready to go when they rcvd the genetic sequencing of the covid virus. They tweek it for new strains cuz viruses are extraordinary and mutate. U have to keep up on those dirty rascals. If u in fact had a reaction to the vaccine, they are studying that and hopefully help is on the way for u and all of us. I have no fear of science and believe that whatever they learn from figuring out how this vaccine affected you, will help them develop a quick cure. Mrna technology is responsible for curing sickle cell in children suffering in great pain. The future is gene editing and figuring out how to save us with a needle or an IV. I know gene editing seems scary and so futuristic but the reality is here. I am an old star trek fan from the 70's and the dr would use a scanning device to diagnose and heal. I always wondered if that would ever be possible. I saved my childrens cord blood stem cells when they were born. It has been frozen for 21 and 24 yrs. I would love my dna to find the cure. I am part of the helix genome study. My sister and i both. Is the prospect of people doing bad stuff with this technology real? Yes. But the benefits outweigh the risks. Its like AI. Double edged sword.

@pdoubrava I don't doubt the science and what you say is all well and good except for one caveat: I assume you personally have not experienced a set back of symptoms while trying to recover from Long COVID after taking the booster. I experienced a set back after my Oct 2023 booster from which I am still recovering. As the proverb goes, "What's good for the goose may not be good for the gander." I do believe you are correct in assuming science will eventually figure out how to curb the mRNA booster set back phenomenon for Long COVID sufferers but until it does, we are left between a rock and a hard place. It is difficult for people who believe in the science to accept unless they have experienced it. And it is only in the last year or so that science has acknowledged the set back phenomenon.
