    Vaccines have existed for how long?

    MRNA vaccines are also not new.

    Changing which disease is treated for doesn’t magically change the vaccine into something that’ll hurt us down the line.

    This is really basic vaccine knowledge, you should have learned this in school

      They’re not new? Could you show me what other human vaccines we’ve made and deployed that use this tech?

      Changing the disease it’s targeting changes the structures of the proteins that are created from the mRNA vaccine, and will change how your body responds to it (with each body reacting a bit differently) - so each time will warrant testing (ideally) before release to the public, especially before mandates are imposed

        From what I understand, you’re correct that the spike protein is what caused the issues, usually to people’s hearts if they had an adverse event. The mRNA part is what instructs your cells to produce those spike proteins, which your immune system’s antibody’s should bond to in a similar way that it would with the corona virus
