    Thank you for your reply
    It was exactly what I was expecting.
    Of course I didn't realise you were a medical expert. So my apologies for not acknowledging that.
    However for the sake of balance here is a medical article that won't interest you but might others. Although being an expert you may be able to counter this article with sound medical, not emotive reasons.

    "Chance That COVID-19 Vaccines Are Gene Therapy? 'Zero
    You may see people posting on social media about the vaccines being a kind of gene therapy, and they're partly right, but in the end this idea often misses some important details about how the vaccines work. They can't change your genes, and they don't stay in your body for more than a few days. But plenty of people have distorted the way the vaccines work into something that could sound sinister. For example, in January, the Weston A. Price Foundation, a group that discourages vaccination, hosted a podcast where David Martin, PhD, described by FactCheck.org as a "financial analyst and self-help entrepreneur," called the vaccines gene therapy."…a vaccine is supposed to trigger immunity. It's not supposed to trigger you to make a toxin," Martin said. "It's not a vaccination.
    "Except that these shots are vaccines, according to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and they don't cause you to make a toxin.
    "Complicated Science"
    Like many rumors, there's sort of an element of truth," says Beth Thielen, MD, PhD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
    But the truth is that the vaccines involve sound science that sounds complicated to most people not educated in the field.
    For the vaccines to alter a person's genes, Offit explains, the mRNA instructions would have to enter the cell's control center, the nucleus. The nucleus is walled off from the rest of the cell by its own membrane. To get past that membrane, the mRNA would have to have an enzyme called a nuclear access signal, Offit says, "which it doesn't have." Even if it could get into the nucleus, the single strand of mRNA would have to be translated back into a double stranded DNA.HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, can do this. It uses an enzyme like reverse transcriptase to insert itself into our chromosomes. The mRNA in the vaccines lacks this enzyme, so it can't turn back into DNA. The DNA adenovirus used in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine does enter the nucleus of our cells, but it never integrates into our chromosomes. Even after those two steps, there's a third firewall between the vaccines and our genes: Another enzyme, called an integrase, would be needed to stitch the new DNA into the DNA of our cells. That's also not in the vaccines." So the chances are zero that that can happen," Offit says.
