A safer way to vaccinate (muscle, viruses, immune, protein)

[Brian.Pearson]

Vaccines usually consist of inactivated viruses that prompt the immune system to remember the invader and launch a strong defense if it later encounters the real thing. However, this approach can be too risky with certain viruses, including HIV.

The article left me seriously wondering what other "certain virus's", they mean. DNA vaccines, once they're into the cell nucleus, will change us at a cellular level., and the muscle cell will be forced to produce viral proteins, potentially for the rest of your life.

Free floating DNA (even encapsulated in polymer) will not automatically become part of a cell's DNA.

Viruses that are able to insert their DNA into a host's DNA and have it replicated have specific "insert sequences" that allow it to be inserted.

Sorry, its been a long time since I took cell-biology and went through all the various mechanisms of DNA replication/transcription .... so I don't remember the specific names. But there is more needed than just free floating DNA making it into a cell's nucleus.

Here's a much simpler article on the subject:

Yeah, I like that. Also there are comments.

That isn't how the process wo rks.

So sorry to have offended you bluedevilz, I find this subject on DNA vaccines very interesting, perhaps you could share your knowledge with the rest of us?
