The covid vaccines were never tested for transmission.

How does herd immunity make any sense when it was never tested for transmission?

mRNA based vaccines also aren't gene therapy. Your DNA isn't being modified, that isn't how they work.

There isn't much point in replying to trolls like @whatwhaaaaat who claim the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines "don't even work". It's just willful ignorance at this point.

> Your DNA isn't being modified, that isn't how they work.

I know, but per your second point, arguing the semantics against willful ignorance doesn't work.

I simply opt to point out that there was and is an old-school vaccine because the focus on the mRNA side of things baffles me.

It was obvious within weeks that there would be no herd immunity from the plain numbers of vaccinated getting infected and re-infected ("breakthrough infections" lmao).
