      If your question is whether crispr gene editing was used by any of the vaccines, then no none of them used it as a direct mechanism.

      However it might have been used somewhere along the line in their creation, e.g. to knock out a gene in the viral vectors. But i couldn’t tell you that with certainty.

          Yeah, the possibilities are definitely exciting. But i guess as far as Covid19 vaccines are concerned it was probably a good thing that none required their direct use. As is we already had a ton of missinformation and fearmongering, i don’t even want to imagine how bad it would have been, if gene editing was involved in any direct way.
