Dear medical professional,
- How many mRNA vaccines are approved for use in the US?
- How does the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a harmless piece of what is called the “spike protein?”
- How is the mRNA vaccine different from the vaccine you describe in point 1?
- Why do you tell something that is clearly at odds with what the CDC states on its website?
New Approach to Vaccines mRNA vaccines are a new type of vaccine to protect against infectious diseases. To trigger an immune response,** many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies. Not mRNA vaccines. **Instead, they teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.

>How does the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells
mRNA is used as blueprint by the protein factories of the cells.
> How is the mRNA vaccine different
The portion of the pathogen's structure that stimulates antibody production is produced by the cells after they got the blueprints.
So you agree that this if the first mRNA vaccine approved for human use in the US. Using it on animals doesn't count as "approved."
"transcribed into protein" - where? What does that mean?
You state this: A preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a **portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration to an individual stimulates antibody **production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection."
But that's not really what this does. This changes your cells. It makes them behave in ways that they would not normally behave. It's not just a foreign material that stimulates antibody production. That statement implies it utilizes a natural physical response, but that's not what this shot does.
I never said it wasn't. In fact elsewhere in these comments I listed that as a great reason to avoid this vaccine.
Do you know what mRNA is and what it does? I'm trying to figure out how far back through high school biology I need to go to explain this. You know your body is composed of cells, yes?
I mean, if your definition of "changing your cells" is putting something from outside into them, then you "change your cells" every time you eat food. Or draw breath. Your cells create protein from mRNA all the time, right now in fact.

That, on the very face of it, is bullshit. Putting new mRNA is not the same as eating Whopper at Burger King. Food does not make the cells do something that don't naturally do. I suspect you're not stupid, that only leaves disingenuous.
You really should take the vaccine since you believe in it so profoundly. Or is this a case of "you should not take it for these reasons and not those because... I went to jew school!"
Oh... and fuck you for your stupid highschool biology snark.
Few people mention antibody-dependent enhancement that was seen in previous mRNA "vaccines".....
I wasn't going to talk about that... but since you brought it up, it's like getting people hooked on .... anything. They can't live without it.
Several for animals, none for humans - until now.
mRNA is transcribed into protein by the ribosomes, structures found on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
It's not. Killed, modified-live, and mRNA vaccines all stimulate an immune response. That's the only criteria to be a vaccine.
I don't know what you think is "at odds" there.
