Traditional vaccines contain an attenuated virus with an intact antigen. The antigen is a protein that acts as a flag🚩. It sits on the surface of the virus and tells our body that this substance is a foreign body that must be attacked. 2/n pic.twitter.com/TiHEdPJVDe

Eventually, the antibodies taper off slowly. In the future, if the person is faced with a similar protein, the immune system mounts a response very quickly avoiding full-fledged infection or illness. 4/n

Dr Wakefield is claiming that the new mRNA vaccine is not a vaccine. Calling it so is a misnomer. The mRNA does not elicit an immune response. The mRNA enters the human cells then uses the cells' machinery to produce the spike protein which then elicits an immune response. 6/n

1) How will the mRNA enter the human cells? Will it be carried by nanoparticles?
2) Will the mRNA enter all human cells or only certain types of cells?
3) Is there a possibility of developing an autoimmune response as a result of this 'novel vaccine'?

4) Are we sure that the cell will break down the mRNA and get rid of it after displaying the spike protein on the cell?

"Moreover, while recombination between single-stranded RNA molecules may occur in rare cases, mRNA does not interact with the genome. Thus, potentially detrimental genomic integration is excluded." 12/nhttps://t.co/wb6zxXnOox

@MichaelYeadon3 & @wodarg claimed that the mRNA vaccines contain a substance to which 70% of people are allergic, which may potentially lead to a fatal reaction to the vaccine. 14/nhttps://t.co/IyJ1684OCd

Now, are you wondering why Big Pharma is experimenting with this 'novel vaccine'?
The simple answer is that it's much faster to scale up and produce mRNA than to make attenuated viruses. This would make vaccinating 7.7 billion people a lucrative possibility.

The only way to address fears around vaccines is to discuss them openly instead of calling people anti-vaxxers.
I hope scientists will engage in this discussion to clarify matters to the general public. Informed consent is key to adopting a health behaviour.
