Eli5: Genetics and DNA

883 views

I’ve read recently about fears of immunizations affecting DNA. I understand that this is not the case and that the injection is “Genetic Material” to give instructions to your body to replicate certain things.

What I don’t understand is: Your genetics affect your future children; so by introducing genetic material aren’t you changing the DNA of future humans?

If in fact this is the case isn’t it possible that you won’t see side effects of these injected materials until the next generation is born?

your childen will get the DNA of your testicles/ovaries, and the RNA of the vaccine doesn’t get there, and even if it did, there are no enzymes there to do anything with the RNA
