...when you inform a newly vax’d person of the CV19 serum that 3 of the 4 are not actually “vaccines” but, MRNA (gene therapy). I felt bad when I saw the look on his face, the embarrassment that followed was uncomfortable when they realized what they did. He was angry he wasn’t able to get the J&J offering after this conversation. It was a painful talk but, necessary. People need to be informed. Doctors shouldn’t offer it to unknowing patients as if it was a flu shot. Ill keep doing my part.

There are a lot of unknowns. But there are also things that have been studied to more degree than others. Human DNA (and animal, plant, bacteria, etc.) containing viral DNA is one of those things. How often it happens is another. It both happens all the time (on the evolutionary scale) and is incredibly rare on the individual scale. This suggests both that our species will be able to handle it just fine because it happens all the time, and that the individual has nothing to fear from it because it never happens.
This paradox is resolved by orders of magnitudes and probabilities. These mathematical tools we use to model our reality are not truth, but they are reasonable assessments.
We don't model our beliefs on truth. No one knows the whole truth. In my belief system, since no one knows the whole truth, and there is only one truth, no one knows any truth at all. So we base our beliefs on actionable intelligence. We base our beliefs on probabilities, whether we calculate it or realize it or not. When we are reasonably sure something won't happen, we don't allow ourselves to be afraid of it. Those that can't let go of the extremely low probabilities live difficult lives.
None of this has to do with "playing God". Every act of interacting with or controlling our environment could be considered an act of playing God by someone who has not themselves honestly considered or calculated the risk. That is how it has always been, through all of history. We would still not be able to cook our food using fire if we avoided every instance of someone being afraid of us "playing God". The Wheel? Forget about it. Only gods may use the wheel. Its too perfect. It has pi, which is too interesting of a number. The sun is pulled by a chariot which has two wheels FFS!!! Language is the language of the gods. If we even grunt we risk offending the gods. Lets not do that!
The point of this satire is that we have developed reasonable tools to assess risk and mitigate it. We are constantly trying to improve those tools. But when the rewards outweigh the risks then we take our chances. That is the human way. That is what MAKES us human.
These things, our risk assessment, our technologies, our goals and endeavors, are all tools. A tool is not evil, but an evil person can use tools for evil purposes. I believe you may be conflating using tools with evil because of this. If you do that, it is easy to be afraid of any tool humans use for any reason you yourself have not dug into sufficiently to assess it as harmless.
