No he doesn’t say that and is not true. mRNAs are “commands”. They encode proteins — each triplet (of nucleotides) on it will translate to one protein building block. They are semi-stable and are actively destroyed in the cell so they can only produce a few protein molecules. So injecting mRNA will give a temporary command to the cells to produce this protein so that the body can learn to defend agains them once they are released from cells.
This is what he said and he could be wrong but I'm not making up anything
> that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose their own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell
machinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to recognize it... your body now knows how to
recognize and fight off a new foreign protein
So what happens if some faulty proteins are created from this process, any chance they then be used to build new cells and cause disorders?
I'm not on the "change genetic" argument anymore as I'm not sure what even defines that, just trying to understand the risks here.
What Linus writes is accurate, you may have misunderstood him. A dose of mRNA is transported to a few cells, and these cells temporarily gets the command to create spike proteins. These proteins will be transported outside your body and be recognized by the immune system. There is no need to constantly create them as the immune system can learn from this alone.
And it is temporary because mRNA is constantly degrading — it is a must otherwise a cell would have no way to stop manufacturing a protein after giving out a command.
It's not low, it's basically non-existent. It's perhaps just a needlessly defensive way of saying so in the video, since there are biologically a way for mRNA to turn into DNA. But it has an effect only on an evolutionary timescale.
