They're viruses that cause the common cold.
And therefore, by imitating what the coronavirus does, and it's not even imitating what the, I'm talking about the vaccine now, it's not even what the whole vaccine, what the whole virus does, is just manipulating to produce a tiny part of that virus.
So this is not interfering with any fundamental machinery in the cell that might produce a cancer-causing situation.
It's simply replicating what coronaviruses do to the cells in our body, and they don't cause cancer.
People who've had lots of episodes of the cold are not more likely to get cancer than anybody else unless they happen to be smokers and it's the smoking causing it.
So that's a huge reassurance that this is not fundamentally altering the genetic structure.
It's also not fundamentally altering the genetic genetic.
The genes on our chromosomes.
It's simply sending a message into the cell.
So you've got your nucleus, which is the where the genetic machinery of a cell is, and all they're doing is reading off the messages inside the cell and sending it into the soup, what's called the cytoplasm of the cell, for the protein of the spike to be produced.
It's not
fundamentally altering our chromosomes.
I know a lot about this stuff and I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation of having an mRNA vaccine because it's just not going to cause cancer.
No.
The answer is that once your kid's in kindy or daycare, they're getting the infections from other kids.
And you get this circulation in a population of children.
And it's just very hard to sterilize the environment that a children that a child is in, very hard to socially isolate.
So the so the flu circulation in the adult population has gone right down and been extremely low because of social distancing.
But it's really almost impossible to do that with children.
And you've simply got viruses circulating in populations of kids that are mingling together, not socially distancing and spreading it via droplets and aerosols and everything else.
