Now that we're getting more information about the mRNA based vaccines, is there any evidence that long term side effects could theoretically be worse than the long term side effects of a standard viral infection? Have long term side effects even been a problem with vaccines under any circumstances?
From my understanding the mRNA just tells your ribosomes to make an antigen. Then the nucleotides are degraded, and the body learns how to kill that antigen in the future by killing the ones that were made.
Am I missing something? How could this possibly create long term side effects? It's a less harmful version of what a normal virus does in your body on a near constant basis, what are people afraid of here?
