What does that say?????

What does that say?????
Surely you are not suggesting the viral vector vaccine, aka AstraZeneca's vaccine to be gene therapy or the like via your contains genetically modified organisms statement?

Do you read any of it or what??? Can you explain how ....using an adeno virus ....which carries a gene ......and makes your body produce stuff .....is not gene therapy.....when thats ....exactly what they call gene therapy??????
"Laying the foundations of gene therapy
Graham returned to Canada, joining McMaster University in Ontario, where he continued his research into adenoviruses, focusing first on understanding the molecular biology of cell transformation and later the development of adenoviruses as vectors for mammalian gene transfer.
Graham's HEK293 cells held an advantage for this research; their transformation with adenoviral DNA meant that they could support the growth of adenoviruses altered so that they could no longer self-replicate. An altered virus can't grow outside HEK293 cells or other cell types that support adenoviral replication. However with the support of the missing viral DNA that's now incorporated into the cells' genome, the virus can continue to grow. The adenovirus can also be further altered to include human gene products (such as normal copies of disease genes). Once sufficient quantities of the virus have grown in HEK293 cells, they can be transferred into patients with genetic disease. There they will express the correct, or therapeutic, copies of the gene, so counteracting the effect of the original mutation or treating a disease, but can't replicate to cause disease themselves."

....using adeno viruses check. using hek293 cells to produce them...check. insert foreign gene into adeno virus? check.....
"What COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca contains
One dose (0.5 ml) contains: COVID-19 Vaccine (ChAdOx1-S* recombinant) 5 × 10^10 viral particles (vp)
*Recombinant, replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells.
This product contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs)."
look....its the same thing ......

No need to hold on aside from to your doom porn fantasy's.
The boy died in a clinical trial for gene therapy back in 1999 and not because of COVID-19 vaccines.
Simple as that really.
Next.
so....it was about adeno virus vectors...like the astra zeneca vaccine you got proven wrong there
