Maybe I don't understand what is and isn't genetic engineering them. Still it is exciting and amazing thing that is happening.

Huh. Based on your original comment, I thought you were fear-mongering / being conspiratorial. Perhaps the grayed out text biased me to think that.

Whether or not the mRNA vaccine is considered "genetic engineering" (I think it's a confusing usage of the term, if not fully mistaken), I totally misread your intent. I stand corrected.
