Computer says no on the gene therapy nonsense.
The vaccines that use mRNA technology are not gene therapy because they do not alter your genes.

No I cant , but I remember reading that scientist need a minimum of 2 to 3 years of data collection before they can state any information.
I found this (What Happens in a Clinical Trial?) and this (How were researchers able to develop COVID-19 vaccines so quickly?), and it looks like they give/gave more importance to the number of people involved in the trials than on the time it takes. The time was shortened by superimposing the trials, so while phase 2 was still going they started phase 3.
The result was that some things were only discovered during phase 3 when they could have been discovered during phase 2, if they had taken the usual time to do it.
From the first link it looks like even after FDA approval, any medication is still considered as being in phase 4 of the trials, so it looks like we have been used as guinea pigs for far longer than we thought.
PS: Personally, I consider we lack enough data for mid and long term side effects, that's why I waited 9 or 10 months before taking the vaccine, and I only did it because I didn't want my sisters, who live with me, to feel responsible for infecting me in case that happened, as they contact many more people than I do (I mostly work alone) on their work and it is easier for them to be infected (both were vaccinated 5 or 6 months before I was).
As I'm not that worried about long term effects on myself I decided the pros were more than the cons I decided to be vaccinated.
PPS: no side effects to report after 2 months.

Computer might say no, Stefan Oelrich (head of the Pharmaceuticals Division and member of the Board of Management of Bayer AG) says the opposite:
"Ultimately the mRNA vaccines are an example for that cellular gene therapy. I always like to say if we had surveyed 2 years ago, the public, would you like to take gene or cell therapy and inject it into your body, we would have probably had a 95% refusal rate."

The discussion of forcing mandatory experimental injections is exactly the same as saying, how about we sh!tcan the Nuremberg Code. The exact wording is different but the semantics are the same.
It's not the same because the Nuremberg code goes beyond that.
Also, it's related to the definition of "experimental injections". Who decides when a new (in this case) vaccine is experimental or has gone beyond that phase?
