Seems silly to belabor the subject much more, so I'll make one final remark and then move on. No available covid vaccine is a traditional vaccine, and to my knowledge there has never been a traditional vaccine for covid. Of course we should stay up to date on covid vaccines, and the doctor should be commended for stating that. My disagreement with him is to the type of vaccine it is. He said traditional. It is not.
The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines differ from traditional vaccines in their use of mRNA, a relatively new technology. Instead of introducing a weakened or an inactivated germ into your body, these vaccines inject mRNA, the genetic material that our cells read to make proteins, into your upper arm muscle.
According to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "mRNA stands for messenger ribonucleic acid and can most easily be described as instructions for how to make a protein or even just a piece of a protein."
Does the COVID vaccine contain the virus? No, and it won’t make you “shed” spike proteins or transmit COVID-19 to others in any way, experts say, swatting down rumors and misinformation about the vaccines.
