In the case of this vaccine, the mRNA carries the amino acid sequence to translate the spike protein found on COVID. The idea is that if we produce the spike protein and not the rest of the virus, our immune system will recognize it and build a defense against it, so that when we are exposed to COVID, our immune system is already prepared to destroy the virus.

Now, mRNA is also in something called a retrovirus like HIV, which reverse transcribes its RNA into the host cells DNA and then the host cell transcribes the DNA back to RNA to be translated into more viruses, which eventually destroy the cell and burst out to go find other cells to infect. But, these retroviruses also have unique enzymes for converting the RNA back to DNA. A normal cell doesn't normally have these enzymes. If it did then they would be constantly cloning copies of their own DNA.................

Now, what the hell could go wrong there? -
