This is a great point.

I also remember folks saying the MRNA style of vaccine was new…unpredictable…and would change DNA…etc. But MRNA research and development been going on for 15-20 years and have come a long way when it comes to vaccinations. We aren’t guinea pigs with MRNA vacs.

You are correct, its not new and doesn't change one's DNA.
