A simple explanation how mRNA vaccines work and why they can’t alter DNA.

DISCALIMER: All vaccines,

including mRNA, carry some degree of risk. This isn’t an attempt to claim mRNA is 100% safe. It is simply
an explanation of how they work.

A mechanic (RNA) wants to duplicate a car (DNA). He opens the hood, and finds the first part (a specific
protein) that he needs. The mechanic and the car can’t leave the shop (the cell nucleus), so he writes a
part order down (mRNA) and sends it to the parts store (the ribosomes outside of the nucleus). The part
store gets the order, makes the parts, destroys the order slip, and sends the part to the mechanic. If the
part is correct, he installs it on the new car and does the same thing for the next part. If it is not, part
doesn’t fix and he throws it out the back door. That’s a basic explanation of the normal RNA
transcription process. Now let’s look how the vaccine uses that process

A bike shop (Your immune response system) needs parts (a protein found on the virus) to build a bike
(antibodies) but the owner (you) can’t afford them. You come up with a brilliant idea. You forge an
order (mRNA) and sends it to the parts store (ribosomes). The parts store makes the parts, sends them
to the mechanic (RNA). When the parts arrive, they don’t fit the car (DNA), so the mechanic throws
them out, and the bike shop picks them up.

That’s how mRNA vaccines work. They tell your ribosomes to produce a protein that your immune
system can uses to produce antibodies.
