this is so funny in the age of antivaxxers
Tbh a biohacker I knew turned me onto a group doing DNA based versions of the COVID vaccine early 2020. Their paper gave me a lot of confidence and some foreground before the warp speed vaccines came online.
I was really floored by the antivaxxers I knew. It's was like "no here's how we could make it at home if you really didn't trust the manufactures for some reason". That seemed to kind short circuit a lot of the propaganda they were getting
But it is really funny how many people wanting biohacker stuff are wanting it because they don't understand it and don't trust existing institutions.
