On a similar note, when the Covid vaccines were introduced in 2021, Facebook was full of people loudly proclaiming that there was no RNA in their bodies and never would be, because they weren't gonna be "jabbed".

the stupidest thing was how they all interpreted gene therapy to mean that MRNA changes their genes... like... all they had to do was learn the absolutely fucking basics and learn that gene therapy was part of the production of the vaccine.... not some internal biological process triggered by the vaccine... uhg... it's just so unfair that some of us get to be so stupid.
