I have a background in chemistry. Early in the pandemic when all the anti-vax nonsense was at its peak I took a look at the ingredients in the three main vaccines in Canada (A-Z, M, and P). For the most part they all included:
While I do agree the vaccines are safe enough, saying “mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time” is a bit misleading. The number of ways an mRNA strand could mess you up is astronomical.
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.
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.

Yes, they are.

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.

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”? 🤣
Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them.
Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly.
Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up.
In the end I’m glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.

mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time
4 salts of which one was table salt
4 fats of which one was cholesterol
and sugar.
That’s it.
While I do agree the vaccines are safe enough, saying “mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time” is a bit misleading. The number of ways an mRNA strand could mess you up is astronomical.
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?
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.
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.

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
Concern troll.
