Andrew Bridgen has repeatedly described mRNA Covid vaccines as 'gene therapy'. This, like many of his recent claims, is health misinformation. mRNA vaccines do not change recipients' DNA or integrate into their genome.
describes a specific area of medicine where treatments for genetic diseases are designed to change a patient’s DNA. Although the mRNA vaccines involve genetic material, messenger RNA, they don’t change your genetic make-up or integrate into your genome.
Mr Bridgen tweeted: “This video clip from the President of Bayer is for all those who still believe the mRNA treatments are not gene therapies.”—it is genuine but Mr Oelrich in it misspoke. A Bayer spokesperson told Full Fact that his comment was “an obvious slip of the tongue”.: “The definition of vaccine was changed to allow the mRNA treatments to be called vaccines. They are actually a new type of drug called Gene Therapies.
When Full Fact asked Pfizer if it considered its mRNA vaccine to be a form of gene therapy, a spokesperson responded: “That is false. Our vaccine is not a gene therapy.”Gene therapy is a real thing. Itdelivering functioning DNA into the nuclei of a patient’s cells, often to cure a genetic condition. This means that gene therapies can permanently alter someone’s DNA, with those changes being inherited by daughter cells that result if the cell divides, while mRNA is transitory and not inherited.
But the mRNA vaccines aren’t gene therapy. The Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines work by packaging instructions on how to make the spike protein on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus .and are used to make the spike protein, causing an immune response, which helps the body to fight off a genuine Covid-19 infection at a later date.
