I don't think the HPV vaccine is mRNA though. Edited May 6, 2021 by teddyv grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartono There are many different types of cancers with many different causes. Some causes of some cancers are indeed viral. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They made it work for COVID. I am encouraged they can make it work for cancer. As someone who has had a serious cancer, it's a scary thing and you wonder if it's going to be the thing that eventually gets you. I dare say millions would line of for this one including me if necessary in the future. I see "genetic engineering" as something leaning more in the direction of playing with DNA at the pre fetal or development stages the disclaimer being biotech has learned how to make some of our DNA respond better to threats better by coding the identification of those threats at the DNA level ( or so I'm told). This is essentially what the COVID vaccine did or does. I am not an expert in the field so I guess I don't fully understand the process. Any technology can be used for evil or good. My main concern here is big pharma will make the medications so expensive that insurance companies will only treat a small percentage of people deemed "serious"when if prices were lower everyone could be treated. I hope pharma doesn't see this with greedy eyes as a cash cow. Probably too much for me to hope. We can see the COVID vaccine was made very fast. I don't know how much is costed to make. It apparently didn't break governments to buy it. I am hopeful for similar results with a cancer solution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then, you don't think mRNA "vaccine" is one, right? The vaccine nor all mRNA's change our DNA. it just uses our DNA to create a set of antibodies. Our DNA isn't changed from it permanently from what I read. If it was DNA (gene) therapy it would change our DNA and both ourselves and our offspring's would create the antibodies for generations instead of a one time short time production. I guess if one defines gene therapy as anything to do with genetics, and if so in that case I would have to agree with you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
