There are about a dozen DNA vaccines in the later stages of development, with many more in the early stages of development. Scientists believe the technology could be used to fight other diseases.

A mother from Illinois has been stripped of her parenting rights over her refusal to take the covid vaccine. Rebecca Firlit said she refused the vaccine over previous adverse effects from vaccines.
