A gene therapy is defined as a therapy that alters a cells genome. The Pfizer/Moderna vaccines do not do that. It would be appropriate to call it bio-nanotechnology, or maybe an mRNA therapy. However, it would be, by definition anyways, inappropriate or at least inaccurate (in scope) to call it a vaccine.
A vaccine is an injection of part of a virus to induce an immune response. This injects an mRNA made without any assistance from the virus itself, which highjacks the cell to express a protein on its surface that is the same as a protein that sars-cov-2 expresses on its surface. So it does not use any part of the actual virus (the definition of a vaccine) but makes your body create a (perfectly reasonable and exact) facsimile of a small part of it.
By itself I have no problem with the ideas of the technology. On the contrary, I design related tech. The problem I have with the technology is that it is designed to induce an autoimmune response in an unspecified location of the body (its supposed to be in the muscle, but once they get into the bloodstream they can go anywhere).
Bigger than the tech problem is that it is an insufficiently tested experimental technology being forced (currently through social pressure, eventually through law) upon the whole world.
Even bigger than that problem is that all the real data is being lied about so that people can't make informed decisions. This is in direct violation of the Nuremberg code, which makes this a crime against humanity.

Thank you, hard to to find info from a reliable source.
