mRNA is a copy of the DNA that is made when informations need to be extracted from a cell's nucleus (the place where DNA is stored). The actual DNA never leaves it except when the nucleus is dismantled during mitosis.
The mRNA is a gene's worth "transcription" of the DNA. It is read by ribosomes outside the nucleus which then assemble a chain of amino acids. A "triplet" of nuclear bases encodes an amino acid. One or multiple chains of amino acids form a protein.
If you inject mRNA into the body, it will produce any proteins you want it to make. The ribosomes don't care. They are just machines.
It's basically like installing a dubious-looking computer program bought from a shady vendor and carried on a dilapidated USB stick, without knowing what it will do. It COULD declutter the drives, destroy all viruses and make your PC run 3 times faster. Or it also COULD start asking for Bitcoin the next time you start your PC.
The possibilities are endless, especially when testing is deliberately accelerated.
A conspiracy by the coffee industry to make people crave for coffee, or by the gym industry to make people fatter, would be one of the more harmless possibilities.
It's NOT a vaccine. It's a mRNA-based mutagen.
