Nucleic Acid and Viral Vectored Vaccines Explained
|Human DNA is transcribed to human mRNA. It is not possible to convert mRNA to DNA. Human mRNA is then translated to human proteins|
Adenovirus vaccines use DNA, for example spike DNA in COVID-19 vaccines. This must first be transcribed to spike mRNA and it is not possible to convert mRNA back to DNA.
|Vaccines do not contain the tools to make human DNA or mRNA|
