Covid RNA vaccine facts.

- RNA is just a temporary message, (like Snapchat, not like Whatsapp)

- RNA vaccines cannot become a permanent part of our genes or 'get into our DNA', RNA has a very short half-life
- Coronavirus can't be made in our body as it has 25 proteins and the RNA for only 1 is in the vaccine

- The safety profile is similar to any other vaccine, there are no concerns in the data available to date
- The MHRA look at all the data available before deciding that a vaccine is safe. This is a stringent process. Their interest is primarily public safety
- Professor Saul Faust, Professor of Paediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Director of the Southampton NIHR Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility fact checked this for me.

He is looking forward to getting the vaccine.
Thanks for continued input. Yes there are many things not included here (eg. We dont have reverse transcriptase in our bodies, importance of the cold chain). The aim was just to l state a few clear, simple facts đź‘Ť
