I am pro-vaccines but let’s be honest, no physician has any clue how these things work or are put together, the manufacturing and QA processes involved, and so on. The lipid delivery mechanism alone is a trade secret based on cutting edge technology which has yet to be replicated outside the United States and Europe.

Asking your doctor specifics about this is like asking Geek Squad how to do kernel development. They operate in completely different knowledge domains.

Physicians should be able to explain in more detail than necessary to the average person, not only how vaccines work, but how mrna vaccines work.

i say talk to a physician because on an internet forum, it's your word vs mine. physicians have: knowledge, a credential, and society-granted authority on the matter. what they say holds weight—a lot more weight than some stranger in passing. NOT because physicians are infallible (which would be a ridiculous claim to make for any human).
