But the sad reality is, that for all the hype, vitriol, condemnation, notoriety, and extreme profusion of money, the mRNA gene therapies are nothing more than mRNA transfection reagents. Very low science, and very dangerous to inject into humans. In fact, not very creative and just plain absurd to even seriously contemplate doing.
Hey man, I thought of something wild to do.
What?
Let's inject Mikey with a transfection reagent.
What!!!????
A transfection reagent.
(Sound of a deep bong inhale.....)
A transfection reagent. You mean like we injected into those crazy Black 6 mice?
Heh heh, they weren't that crazy before the injection.
(Hi five).
(Sound of deep bong hit....)
Fuck, you serious?
Why not?
Well, what would we inject him with?
The same type of shit - an mRNA transfection reagent.
(Sound of deep bong hit......)
Whaaattttt??? With GFP mRNA? Why the fuck would we do that??
No, no, something much crazier.
(Sound of deep bong hit.....)
Fuck! I am totally wasted. What?
mRNA coding for a viral protein.
Man, you must be high. That shit could kill him.
What you sayin'?
Well, if that shit travels throughout his body,
Yeah?
And it lands in the brain, let's say.
Yeah?
Well, his brain cells could be made to display the viral protein.
Yeah?
And his immune system would think his brain cells were infected with the virus, and attack and kill them
Fuck yeah!
(Sound of deep bong hit....)
Ummmm.... All right. Let's do it! Far fuckin' out, man!
