So, you're still turned into a walking, talking GMO then, right?
Not exactly. The mRNA vaccines (assuming they have the ingredients as listed) have an almost zero chance of altering the genome of any cell. Happening in many cells is, for lack of a better word, completely impossible. Happening in many cells in many people becomes completely impossible times completely impossible. If it happens in one single cell of an average person who got the vaccine I would be very surprised.
In addition, the technology is designed to cause an autoimmune response that will kill the cell, IF (big IF) a cell were to have its DNA altered by the mRNA, the most likely case is that that cell would be killed by the immune response, since that's the entire purpose of the technology.
The adenovirus vaccines have a much higher chance of being written into the DNA. It is still very unlikely, but it is much more likely than the mRNA vaccines. Again, if (smaller if) it happens the cell would still most likely be killed, so there are no real concerns it would be a permanent effect.
Even if any one of these hypothetically genetically altered cells were to survive, they are very unlikely to be stem cells (stem cells are well protected from infection from these types of technologies and/or viral attacks). So having such a genomic alteration being effective past the life of that one cell is even more unlikely.
Even if it happened to be a stem cell that was altered (we are already into the realm of being so improbable as to be completely laughable) it would be even MORE unlikely to be in a germline cell.
It is only by changing the germline that a GMO can be created, and then it wouldn't be you, but your potential children. And even then, you have many, many cells that produce sperm/eggs, so the odds of you passing on that particular one make this whole line of reasoning so incredulous as to be not worth consideration.
You are more likely to be struck down by lightning 54,285,551 times on a cloudless day before finishing this diatribe than for that event to occur.
If you want to make a person a GMO, there are much, much, much better ways to do it than these vaccines.
Yeah...umm...that's a hard pass for me.
I agree with this sentiment for other, real concerns.
