Good morning! Still worried about that vaccine but don't actually know how it works?

It's not a "dead version" (lol are viruses even alive?)
It's not a "weakened" version of the virus.

They're using whats probably the safest type of vaccine to date.
Laymans terms? They're giving your body the design for the lockpicks the virus uses, so your body can upgrade the locks.

Literally: providing the mRNA for a surface glycoprotein, which is required for host cell interaction& infection.
So your body can make the cellular "lockpicks" glycoprotein (NOT THE ENTIRE VIRUS) and then tailor an immune response against those "lockpicks".

There's no virus in the vaccine.
Does this mean nothing can go wrong?

What have humans ever done, that nothing can go wrong? Don't be dense.

But it is safer& better regulated than the careless lifestyles y'all be running around living in this pandemic.

WASH YOUR HANDS. SOCIAL DISTANCE.
WEAR A MASK.
