India last month said that it had created the world’s first DNA vaccine, ZyCoV-D. While standard vaccines use actual 'hardware' protein, DNA vaccines use the 'software' blueprint of the virus.

Waiting for someone to say that this will not alter your DNA if you get it.
Add in the vaccines delivered via lettuce, and we have the makings for a scary movie.
And IF we ever reach other planets creating new immune systems and other bodily adaptation then may become a necessity if we ever want to colonize them, imagine a human race whom could breath CO2 at the pressure of mars surface and survive radiation with there genetic material constantly repairing itself to counter the affects of radiation for example but that then opens a whole new can of worm's about whether such a new species of humans would actually still BE human's.

So apparently this Indian company has developed a new form of vaccine. I have not delved into the article deeply enough to make any profound commentary on it thus far, but I thought to go ahead and put it out there for others more knowledgeable than myself to weigh in. It's interesting that I found this story run in the Jerusalem Post, since Israel is (I believe) the most completely vaxxed nation in the world. Also the nation that seems to be having a lot of problems. I don't know...let me post the link and, well...discuss.

There have been a number of papers in the past and speculation by eminent scientists that virus may be one cause of species mutation, some have even suggested that as the virus itself may mutate to include some of the material from other species that when it manages to cross the species barrier it may then also potentially at rare intervals have transited some genetic material between species which of course would be another cause of mutation, some of these mutations may have been beneficial but by no means all.

What is the endgame for DNA manipulation? I see on one side of the coin it could be used for medical purposes but what is the evil side to it if that makes any sense?
