Are the mRNA or DNA-based vaccines safer? Is there a greater likelihood of epigenetic tumor
induction,autoimmune disease or some theoretical disease process that is more or less
likely with the Pfizer,Moderna or Jansen-Johnson and Johnson vaccine for a young medical worker in their 30's?
The skepticism surrounding the Pfizer, Moderna or Jansen-Johnson has prevented the world from first applauding the feat this scientist have accomplished in such a short period of time in our scientific history.
Hi George Haik
Unfortunately i believe yes! Any thing that involves the DNA or the messenger RNA (if not fully under control) will eventually take control on the self genetic process.
It is a myth that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can cause autoimmune disease.

Usually, the process of developing a new vaccine against a particular disease involves a complex process usually taking long as 15-20 years most times. This is to ascertain not only immunogenicity and appropriate dosage but to understand both short and long term potential reactions. However, the race on who gets the COVID-19 vaccines first as well as the threat of the disease itself couldn't afford what I may here term as "due process". Some opinions suggest the producers skipped preclinical stages, while others opined that they did not but merged those preliminary (exploratory and preclinical studies) concurrently with human trials. In either way, we raised a number of questions against those vaccines, you may wish to read further here: Article Authorization of the first COVID-19 emergency vaccines: The ...
In addition, according to our questions, NO ONE KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN AS LONG TERM ADVERSE EFFECTS, however, to conclude an important question relating to the one here abovementioned, we pointed in our article "the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection is worth counterpoised, whether any of the excluded groups would be fit for the vaccines or potential complication of the unknown could emerge when vaccinated is an important safety measure to be weighed in counterbalance"
Dear George Haik thank you for this interesting technical question. With the current generally accepted knowledge the answer is NO. According to the link cited below the mRNA of the vaccines never enters the nucleus of a human cell and does not affect or interact with a person’s DNA:

RNA-based vaccines may activate bystander autoreactive lymphocytes. Theoretically, this process can reactivate autoimmune diseases.

Excellent question and focus of attention We all have the same questions about the vaccine
All answers are valuable and scientifically useful
Tnx Azhar Azher Mohammed Al-Ankoshy for recommending my comment. Take Care
Thank you for your responses. I am grateful for the rapid development of these
vaccines and have been vaccinated. I am concerned about the lethality of the
virus .
