Greetings,
RNA or "Ribonucleic Acid" is one of the components responsible for the coding, decoding and construction of organic beings like us on the molecular level. One type of RNA is "mRNA" or "Messenger Ribonucleic Acid", who's main function is relaying coded information from the DNA in the nucleus of a cell, to the Ribosomes in the Cytoplasm where protein is synthesised.
In this video I talk about DNA, RNA and mRNA in simple terms, with a simplistic analogy relating it to a 3D Printer. As such I demonstrate how a virus may seek to highjack the process to reproduce itself and how our immune system may fight against such an infection.
I talk about the Pfizer mRNA vaccine and how it works, leveraging our bodies' natural capacity to synthesise protein to produce faux virus parts for the body to form a defence against.
I also discuss three worries that I have with the technique.

Good info. I hear one little glitch is that those folks with severe food allergies are being told not to get the vaccine. Apparently those people were not admitted into the pre-release study. However, possibly the non-mRNA vaccines being developed by Johnson and Johnson and Merck, may prove to be less of an issue.

Someone told me that there's some egg protein used in the agent holding the mRNA, which would make sense for allergies. Ironically, allergies are an immune response of sorts. People with topical eczema have also been excluded I believe.

Very informative, thank you for shining a light on how COVID works and how the vaccine will function as well.
