It trains your body to fight the disease. The methods and techniques are different but the fundamentals are still the same. It’s ridiculous to think that its permanent genetic modification.

The only “genetic modification” that I understand happening is the modification to our immune systems being able to fight diseases much better than before. Eventually getting rid of diseases entirely.
But I guess people thought that was stupid, so now we have measles again like its 1953

I think it refers to insertion of mRNA inside the cells.
Except mRNA does not persist and thereby cannot be seen as a genetic alteration.
