    The lack of understanding of what RNA is and how it works is depressingly common and epic. Hint: RNA won't "modify your genes." Really, we know this. It's molecular biology.🙄https://twitter.com/urbanx_f/status/1300102727004049411 …

    David Gorski, MD, PhD added,

    Nucleic Acid Vaccines. "On the simplest level, nucleic acid vaccines employ the host's transcriptional and translational machinery to produce the desired gene product". I don't know about you guys, but the mass distribution of injectables to modify genes sounds risky.

        Replying to @gorskon

        I've forgotten almost everything I learned in high school bio about RNA (and cellular function in general except for vaguely knowing what ATP does) but I definitely remember it ISN'T that.

        But Greggery always manages to elevate lack of understanding to Olympic level.

        I do for cancer vaccines, but I do fail to see the advantage for a #COVID19 vaccine.

        Replying to @gorskon

        When did these people get their doctorates in so many different fields? Also, the comments in response to that are some serious woo. "Transhumanism" is apparently now the goal of our "overlords." That is some pretty serious mental illness.

        Eh, we're already Transhuman (contact lenses, the Internet as extended memory, pacemakers, etc) and our billionaire overlords sell hype not science (see Elon Musk).

        You should meet the HCQ crowd. They are even worse than the guys who deny evolution occurs. @JamesTodaroMD @raoult_didier @drsimonegold @zev_dr @richardursomd they don’t know difference between primary cells and transformed cell lines!
