There is no known pathway of persistence in this mechanism, and there is good reason to believe such a mechanism cannot exist as it would be a highly versatile attack vector and viruses would have evolved to be much more virulent by using it. Retroviruses do complex work to infiltrate the DNA repository of a cell, if all it took is to drop some mRNA it would have been exploited and 'patched' a billion years ago.

No known, and published in a paper, pathway. Engineering is about using things in practice we don't yet understand. They didn't know why suspension bridges kept falling down, so they just used a "safety factor" to decide how much to over-build a structure vs its theoretical capacity.
We have no idea what the long term consequences are of this gene treatment. It's not possible to have 10 year or more data on something just cooked up in the past 3 years.
It's mRNA for a start. So it isn't treating genes.
That sounds like genetic manipulation to me.
The only way the vaccine industry can survive in such a legal climate is to get the claims reviewed by medical people rather than juries. Lawyers hate it because they can't woo the jury with the plight of the victim.
Society would work a lot better if more systems worked this way. Locally the lawyers utterly hated the system where to bring a malpractice case you had to go before a board of three lawyers and three doctors first. While you could then go to trial with less than 4 votes from that board your chances were minimal when the jury heard what the board said. Effectively that meant you had to convince one of three doctors your claim was sound--if you can't do that why do you think you have a case?
I guess I should have known better when the Pharma companies were pre-emptively granted immunity for any complications from this treatment. It roasts on the pyre any institutional trust the FDA and CDC had left.
As a result of all of this, the control group in this unplanned and reckless experiment is quite small. Its not outside of the realm of possibility to have a "Children of Men" situation in a decade or two because of this.
It may end up being that only the people who refused this have long and healthy lives.
