    It is not misleading at all. Every single cell in our bodies contains mRNA at all times.

    What are these ways that mRNA could mess you up of which you speak?

      Every single cell in our bodies contains mRNA at all times.

      That’s like saying computer viruses are fine because they’re made of code, which computers are already full of.

      We’re full of mRNA, sure, but we’re full of mRNA that’s supposed to be there.

      What are these ways that mRNA could mess you up of which you speak?

      I’m no biologist, but perhaps mRNA that creates a prion?

        Sure, mRNA could be created to create a prion but the mRNA in the vaccine does not. It creates a small fragment of protein similar to a trans-membrane protein on the covid virus.

        I assumed that you had concrete information to share no just wild anti-vax fear mongering.

          Lol, the wild anti-vax fear mongerer who said “I do agree the vaccines are safe enough” two comments ago. Really seems like he has an agenda here

          I am not calling into question the safety of these vaccines. They are safe.

          I’m pointing out that just because something is a salt doesn’t make it safe (see Sodium Cyanide), and just because a compound is mRNA doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous.

          If you base your assessment of the safety of a drug on the premises you laid out instead of on controlled studies, you’re no better than anti-vaxxers.

            I am very well aware that you are just being an argumentative pedant. I’ve been dealing with people like you for years so I recognized it right away.

            I am not calling into question the safety of these vaccines. They are safe.

            Yes, they are.

            I’m pointing out that just because something is a salt doesn’t make it safe (see Sodium Cyanide), and just because a compound is mRNA doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous.

            All four of the fats in the Covid vaccines naturally occur in or bodies.

            All four of the salts in the Covid vaccines naturally occur in our bodies.

            The tiny fragment of mRNA in the Covid vaccines is perfectly safe.

            The only molecule in the Covid vaccine that is absolutely, provably killing many, many people is β-D-Fructofuranosyl α-D-glucopyranoside.

            If you base your assessment of the safety of a drug on the premises you laid out instead of on controlled studies, you’re no better than anti-vaxxers.

            There WERE controlled studies. Many controlled studies. The main vaccines are demonstrably safe.

            “If you are not a scientist, and you disagree with scientists about science, it’s actually not a disagreement. You’re just wrong. Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn’t lie to you. It learned more.”

              How was I supposed to know from your earlier comment that you weren’t literally saying “the COVID vaccine is safe because it’s made of things similar to stuff in our body”? 🤣
