Because the DKIM keys were not made public, and a message sent from their account could be confirmed to be authentic.

If the keys were public, they could claim forgery. Regardless they could claim their account was hacked, but they couldn't deny the message was sent from their account.

Being gay is not a crime, and yet people can be blackmailed with it. It is very easy to open yourself up to blackmail by perfectly legitimate activities.

Option 1: DKIM keys stay private... "That email was just a joke, I'm not really gay" Option 2: DKIM keys go public... "That email was just someone else's joke, I'm not really gay"

Not really a difference, and with option 2 you can't prove you didn't send it (as far as you can prove someone didn't crack 2048 bit RSA and use that power to concern themselves with your sex life).

Being able to prove a fascist dictator who was killing people for being gay, was secretly engaging in gay acts themselves, might help your cause of protecting gay people.

The threat is not limited to politicians. Anyone (including you and your family members) could be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed.

... for what they actually did.

You think the solution is allowing people to be blackmailed or otherwise publicly embarrassed for things they didn't do, while removing their ability to verify that they didn't do them?

Except your "backyard shed" is actually an uncountable number of your cells that are "edited" (changed using the reprogramming abilities inherent to mRNA, but god forbid you refer to it as such) into not being "backyard sheds" anymore, but being factories for spike proteins that can't be stopped other than waiting for the fire to burn out. After a few weeks, you don't get your "backyard shed" back, because the craftsman destroyed it.

This isn't about funding... this is about taking a giant leap into mRNA vaccines, that until now have not been approved for human use. We aren't injecting processed proteins into our bloodstream to trigger and train our immune systems... We are reprogramming our bodies into vaccine factories.

It struck me too... but as completely wrong. A large majority of my work is in APIs, both as a consumer and provider; between local processes, local networks, and the global internet. Every program I build talks to other programs... a lot. If there is any problem at all, it's not that programs don't talk to each other; it's that they talk 1 of 1,000 different standards.

One conclusion I got in a mathematical logic exam so many many moons ago was how something being "not as X" still implied that something was "somewhat X".... so just because "RNA is not as suitable as DNA for storing genetic information", essentially it still is somewhat suitable, and perhaps suitable enough.

I don't know why you don't see the difference between similar symptoms and similar mechanisms.

A compromised immune system spiraling out of control attacking itself looks the same from the outside.

I do know where you're not getting information from, as there isn't any... because it's never been approved for human testing.

This isn't like the first person biting into a new apple variety for the first time... this is like the first person growing an apple from scratch in their stomach, using techniques that have never before been approved for human use.

I can't think of a single existing drug that works like that, because there hasn't been one. Food doesn't reprogram my cells before it "goes out".
