[DC/Marvel] Why can't the meta/X-gene be injected into non-metas?

And why can't the gene be disabled via injection like an illness?

Surely if the government were against mutants and metahumans they'd be vaccinations onto newborns.

EDIT: *Metas or mutants.

Most vaccinations are basically half-dead pathogens delivered into your body so that your immune system can easily attack it and retain information on it so that any future infections can be handled promptly.

The X-gene is just that, a gene. Genes are a part of you, they're the things that control how tall you get, the patterns on your finger print, and everything else basally biological about you body. The X-gene is in every cell, even if it's not specialized for whatever the gene is expressing.

That being said you could *suppress* some individuals effects through drugs, like someone with allergies takes an antihistamine (not the same mechanism, but just as an example), but the biological aspect of it that makes you sick is still there.
