Reposting one of my other comments:

Here’s another article talking about the technology:

Founded in 2010, Moderna uses messenger RNA, which carries genetic information from DNA to ribosomes to produce proteins. Moderna hijacks mRNA and uses it to carry a copy of the genetic sequence of the virus, which prompts the production of the antibodies to that virus

From Wikipedia:

The mRNA strand in the vaccine may elicit an unintended immune reaction. To minimise this, the mRNA vaccine sequences are designed to mimic those produced by mammalian cells.[13] Preclinical experience with vaccine candidates for SARS and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) have raised concerns about exacerbating lung disease, either directly or as a result of antibody-dependent enhancement.[14] A possible concern could be that some mRNA-based vaccine platforms induce potent type I interferon responses, which have been associated not only with inflammation but also potentially with autoimmunity. Thus, identification of individuals at an increased risk of autoimmune reactions before mRNA vaccination may allow reasonable precautions to be taken.[15]

So these types of vaccines for SARS aggravate lung disease, may lead to permanent autoimmune disorders, and may make you more reactive to similar viruses through antibody-dependent enhancements.

They make it sound benign, but I will take hydroxochloroquine over the chance of lupus or MS, or an even more extreme reaction to a similar virus. Those are just the short term ones too. I haven’t seen anything thorough about possible cancers or birth defects.

Did you also post this on the infamous board with all the anons? They'd get on it.

Isn't this how "I am Legend" zombie infestation started?
