"Beware of Agenda 21!" is the warning from a nutty buddy of mine from the old days.

He's convinced that the vaccines will alter human DNA, and that is part of a secret global plan
to reduce the population. I tried, via e-mail, to tell him that the vaccine, a mRNA, cannot
mess with DNA. The studies and scientific knowledge on this are clear. But it turns out, he says I am
just being duped. Too bad, the guy is very intelligent, like very high IQ, but apparently, that doesn't
always translate into common sense and goes on the conspiracy trail....

Taking the conspiracy train to crazy town.. Yes he is a libertarian/conservative.. I don't push it. He wears a mask, social distances and does not go into crowds. We are friends since childhood and I hope he comes around...

Will an mRNA vaccine alter my DNA?

Some of the COVID-19 vaccines use messenger RNA to provoke an immune response. But what exactly is this genetic material, and how does it interact with the DNA in our cells?

If insufficient numbers of humans (or the wrong humans) are "reduced" from the global population, will there be roaming death squads unleashed to wipe out enough people?

He probably believes other conspiracies, too. People seem to go into the deep end of the pool once they accept a big lie.

And he'll get better wifi reception on his smartphone.

Not sure about the AstraZeneca - that probably helps Photoshop.
