It's not gene therapy. Gene therapy changes DNA. The vaccine causes some proteins to be produced temporarily and then it goes away.

And those proteins make the immune system react to build immunity to them. The second half of that sentence is the definition of a vaccine. What do you think a vaccine is?

And nothing is ever literally 100% safe, but people exaggerate. It's ridiculous to reject something because it got exaggerated about at some point.

They linked a study, I will just reply with this: https://www.chop.edu/parents-pack/evaluating-information/why....

Also even if that implication is right, it would be a side effect to the much bigger main effect of being a vaccine.

And we'd have to check if it happens more with the vaccine than with the actual virus.
