I have some bad news for you. Our immune system cells find and sample pathogens in our blood. When they find one (oversimplified) they take a sample of it, mark it and killer cells kill it. The immune system has now learned a new pathogen and will fight it off next time much more quickly and have more cells ready to go. That is exactly how it is supposed to work.

Immune systems aren't perfect and you could be getting more sensitive to each exposure and eventually have an anaphylactic reaction; or you could have one the first time you encountered something--sometimes it be like that.

All vaccines "teach" your body to recognize a natural pathogen via a very small sample, often a dead sample. That's all it needs.

Thanks, Professor, for explaining how traditional vaccines work. But this vaccine is not "teaching" your body to recognize a natural pathogen via a very small sample of that pathogen.

This is from the CDC:

"To trigger an immune response, many vaccines put a weakened or inactivated germ into our bodies.Not mRNA vaccines. Instead, they teach our cells how to make a protein—or even just a piece of a protein—that triggers an immune response inside our bodies."
