Original Note:
Bayer clarified that comment was "an obvious slip of the tongue" and that "mRNA is not a gene therapy.” Gene therapy modifies DNA and mRNA COVID-19 vaccines don't alter genes or DNA but instruct cells to make spike protein. mRNA doesn't enter nucleus. https://fullfact.org/health/bayer-covid-vaccine-gene-therapy/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41435-021-00136-6 https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1N2PH16N/ https://www.factcheck.org/2022/06/scicheck-website-peddles-old-debunked-falsehood-about-covid-19-mrna-vaccines/ https://publichealthcollaborative.org/misinformation-alert/misleading-video-used-to-falsely-claim-covid-19-vaccines-are-gene-therapy/ https://www.genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/blog/why-mrna-vaccines-arent-gene-therapies/
