Oh you mean the Dexter Holland who now has his Ph.D. and was recently quote in rolling stone saying:
We’ve known about messenger RNA for quite a while, and this is kind of a new application of messenger RNA. We used to send dead viruses or inactivated viruses — that’s what you injected so that they wouldn’t cause disease, but they would still stimulate the immune system hopefully in the same way. It’s probably not going to work quite as good as an actual live virus in terms of the immune response, but it’s close enough, which is great.
But what we’re doing with mRNA is we’re sending in the instructions to create that protein that causes the response. It’s a delivery system, right? And they think they can swap out whatever vaccine you want. The mRNA is a platform and you swap in these things like cassettes. “OK, this is a cassette for the coronavirus spike protein, but maybe we can try it with a different virus.” I’ve heard about cancer therapies potentially.
They got the [Covid] vaccine out so quickly because this technology had been largely worked out. They almost had it ready to go. It’s fascinating and it’s exciting, but we’re still at the point where there’s been little side effects here and there, some blood clotting, potentially. You’re going to have to get a lot of data. But for how many shots have been deployed, it seems to be safe and effective. I think it’s really exciting.
He doesn't seem very concerned that reality is playing out like his MTV music video, maybe it's just your vivid (and perverted) imagination?
