FWIW, this isn't a drug that we don't really know how the body might metabolize it or those byproducts might react, causing long term harm.
It contains no live, weakened, or killed virus, so it's impossible to give you COVID if something went wrong in manufacturing process, like the one version of the Polio vaccine.
It's mRNA that tricks your body into making the spike protein of the virus so your immune system learns to recognize and attack it now so it's ready to respond immediately when it sees that spike on the real virus. And learns that before the immune system gets rid of the mRNA stuff too.
I think that's how some viruses work, except they create copies of themselves, and this just created copies of the spike. So that gives me comfort that it's clever highjack of a normal process, unlikely to cause havoc in some unforeseen way.
And at the same time it's the same way regular vaccines work, exposing you to a harness stand-in for the actual virus to prime your immune system. Only in this case your body creates the stand-in, and the stand-in is a much smaller fragment of the real thing.
That said, you do have to wonder if messing with cellular machinery at that level could result in some weird stuff if it doesn't get stomped by your immune system or something in the process mutates to create some similar protein that causes problems.
. Isn't Alzheimer's cause by protein plaque invading the brain?
