It can be explained very easily. What is more difficult is convincing someone that they are incorrect.

In the case of Moderna and mRNA therapeutics, DNA vaccines is considered a new paradigm that would disrupt the pharmaceutical industry.  Its vision is to harness a new technology that synthesizes messenger RNA, or mRNA—which is an instruction manual in every living cell for creating protein—to prompt the human body to make its own medicine.

So instead of injecting a piece of virus into a person to stimulate the immune system, the synthesized genes would be shot into the body whereby the genes are edited, deleted, added, to re-engineer human DNA to resist the disease.  If successful, scientists hope DNA vaccines could be a “transformative” treatment for heart disease, metabolic and genetic diseases, kidney failure and even cancer.  -- Dr. Christina Lin, from Gene-editing, Moderna, and transhumanism August 5, 2020

You're right.  That was easily explained

Notice that the quote is about gene-editing DNA vaccines, and not mRNA vaccines. Please take more care to read things.

"DNA vaccines is considered a new paradigm..." (my underline)

"the synthesized genes would be shot into the body..." Synthesized genes are DNA, not RNA.

Sorry, I should have included her first line:

As gene-based mRNA vaccines from Moderna are being designed and tested at warp speeds to fight Covid-19, this is also bringing the debate over transhumanism into the forefront.

What kind?  Gene-based mRNA.

I don't know whose line that was, but from the perspective written, it doesn't sound like Dr. Lin's comments. Of course, if you actually included citations with your quotes, we would be able to see this.

I did.  I gave you her name, and the name of the article.  It's just that you cannot, or will not look things up.   I would say we should bet, but we know how bets change.

Oh, my mistake. I had assumed from the reference-less quote that Dr. Lin worked for Moderna. This is not the case, Dr. Lin is the one writing an article and got her facts wrong.

You are taking a mistake-laden hit piece and using it as "evidence". Wow...

I'm disappointed that "mistaken hit pieces" didn't make this list.

It was not a hit piece.  Her references were good.  Her degrees are good. Her citations are good.  She was correct.  You just don't like that what she says makes my point.
