A few years ago, the term “mRNA” was primarily confined to scientific circles and research papers. Back then, the use of messenger RNA (mRNA) seemed promising: It would teach cells to create a protein that would initiate an immune response against a specific pathogen.
Today, many more of us have heard of mRNA, as both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines use messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, as the active ingredient. At least, that’s what we’ve been told.
In fact, RNA-based vaccine technology utilizes modified RNA (modRNA), not mRNA. This applies to the COVID-19 vaccines and all vaccines currently in the research and development stages. Because mRNA is so fragile that the human immune system will destroy it within a few minutes, mRNA can’t be effective on its own. Therefore, the current technology was made possible only after stabilizing mRNA; the result is modified RNA.
Furthermore, modified RNA-based “vaccines” aren’t vaccines but gene-based injections that force healthy cells to produce a viral protein. In this article, we will look at the uses and dangers of modRNA.
Natural Infection and Conventional Vaccination
When you are infected naturally by a virus or have received a conventional vaccine, your immune system identifies virus-specific antigens from active or inactivated virus particles, respectively.
The two main types of immune cells, T and B cells, behave differently. T cells identify infected cells and initiate apoptosis (the cell-killing process), while B cells produce antibodies that bind to the virus and thus prevent infection of other cells.
There are various “proteins”—called antigens—on the surface of each virus. Your immune system can memorize more than one of them. When the virus mutates and some proteins change, your immune system can still recognize and kill them. This is referred to as cross-immunity.
Particularly in the case of respiratory disease, most pathogens are already prevented by the first natural barrier, the mucous membrane. This barrier, however, is bypassed when an intramuscular injection (such as the COVID-19 shot) is administered.
Results of Injections of modRNA
To protect against destruction by the immune system, modRNA is packaged in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that, due to their small size and synthetic optimization, can easily overcome biological barriers and even reach vital cells in the heart and brain.
