They tell us that there is no way the mRNA they introduce can possibly destabilize DNA
First, that is not what they say, nor is it what I say, nor it is what any other cell biologist says. What we all say is that cytosolic mRNA (messenger RNA the type in the vaccines) cannot alter your DNA. This is a 100% true statement (within the scope of any meaningful discussion). OTHER types of RNA can write to DNA, albeit under very specific conditions which have nothing to do with the vaccine.
Second, this article (and indeed most papers you will find on RNA/DNA interaction) is talking about a specific modification to a specific type of RNA that INTERACTS with DNA in a REGULATORY CAPACITY. That has absolutely nothing to do with altering the genome, but strictly related to regulation of protein expression.
But how can we be certain that none of them are somehow migrating back into the cell nucleus and possibly participating in some kind of dance with other RNA strands that can affect DNA? Nobody knows the human body well enough to guarantee that.
We can be certain because we have done experiments on it. Thousands of experiments. Maybe millions. Is it POSSIBLE for the viral mRNA to interfere with normal DNA traslation, or even be written to the DNA according to these millions of experiments?
Yes.
Is it likely?
You are probably more likely to get hit by lightning 20 times before finishing this sentence with a cloudless sky than you are for even one of your cells to have the vaccine mRNA get written to your DNA.
I really wish people who are completely clueless about biology would move on to relevant vaccine topics. Its like playing Whack O' Mole.
