No no... Forgive me for my lack of clarity. I'm not cautioning about the safety of the vaccine. I'm cautioning against blindly assuming its efficacy.
The mRNA is absorbed by currently living cells and tricks them into producing copies of the spike protein. The protein molecules are released when that cell dies. That's it. done. No long-term effects as I understand it.
I'm cool with taking it as much as "they" deem necessary.
