I have a friend who is anti mRNA vaccines as they are so new.

Are they?

    Yes, you could argue that, but it would be an extraordinary claim.

    I might still get indigestion from that taco I ate in 1999.

    But it’s really unlikely, since that Taco cleared my system way back then.

    mRNA also clears the body quite quickly.

    So to have side-effects after so many years, one would need to explain a mechanism.

    Otherwise it’s really just very speculative. Might as well believe 5G causes cancer. After all, it’s new technology.

      Sure.

      one would need to explain a mechanism.

      Not really - one just needs to say ‘this a novel mechanism of producing an antigen, we don’t really know if there are any long-term affects’.

      Very speculative and etraordinarily unlikely, I agree.
