This article overstated the case, for some rather technical reasons.
Closest way of saying it, is that
the mRNA vaccine only codes for the one spike protein of the virus,
so it cannot (by being truncated wrong to go into / out of the nucleus) affect any of the other cell's proteins;
and second,
the way the mRNA vaccines work,
the mRNA for the viral spike protein goes to the ribosomes, not the nucleus,
so the types of errors Sloan-Kettering was suggesting for other proteins,
wouldn't happen
(cause the mRNA for the spike protein doesn't get edited).
Check the number of amino acids that goes into a spike protein, and compare that to the number of amino acids in a typical prion. Very different.
What might (and I've seen an article or two suggesting this) is that the spike proteins (which every knows and admits, gain entrance to the cell through the ACE2 receptor), might, with the mRNA vaccination, not open up the cell and go in like the virus does, but just semi-bond with the ACE2 site.
That's like ringing the doorbell on the affected cell, so to speak. The receptor, when bound to, causes the cell to put out a whole bunch of inflammatory signaling proteins.
And then, if the mRNA does make it into the cell, it'll cause a cell to pump out a bunch more of the mRNA, which then acts like an avalanche.
The other scary thing is that researchers at Harvard and MIT put out a paper saying that they found genetic sequences from the mRNA, in the DNA of people who got the vaccine (this can happen if there are other viruses hanging around which have and enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which does copy RNA sequences into DNA).
...and they found fragments of viral material in brain cells, inside the blood-brain barrier; but unlike other viruses which make it through the blood-brain barrier, they didn't find a metric sh*t-ton of white blood cells trying to clean things up.

What if these spike proteins cause prion diseases? It can't be good to have these spike proteins being produced by our cells.
I tend to doubt it.

This virus is a little f*cker.
