> You can be hesitant of these new mRNA vaccines but for classic vaccines that use dead / weakened viruses, that doesn't make you an "anti-vaxxer".

Exactly. I've had more vaccines than most people ever will because of my time in the military. I'm good with it, I think it was smart given the circumstances. The question isn't "are traditional vaccines OK?" (yes) but "do I trust other people's ability to modify my DNA without error?" Of that I'm far less certain.

> do I trust other people's ability to modify my DNA without error?

There is no vaccine that's based on people's ability to modify your DNA, so no need to worry about that. (I wonder how the idea that they do still keeps floating around...)

Probably the AstraZeneca and J&J ones, which do use DNA instead of mRNA.

Adversarial foreign powers. The west is rotting from inside out, social media is exasperating divide in the west. For example, it’s wasn’t so common to see USA vs EU nationalism couple of years ago on HN.

The more they mandate it instead of convince me with science, the more I am skeptical.
