Many people are concerned about how quickly the vaccines for COVID-19 were developed. Managing editor Tami Roleff says the San Bernardino County’s health officer discussed the development of the vaccine on a podcast with a Cal State professor recently, who said the technology used to develop the vaccine has been around for a long time…
The technology used to develop the COVID-19 vaccine uses messenger RNA. Messenger RNA makes proteins like skin and hair, and has been used to make vaccines for 10 to 15 years.
The county’s health officer, Dr. Michael Sequeira, said in a podcast with Cal State San Bernardino professor Alex Avila that the spikes on the drawings of a coronavirus are spike proteins.
“Messenger RNA is just the instructions on how to make that spike protein, just that little spike protein; not the virus.
They code it, inject it and it gets into muscle cells and it tells the muscle cells how to make the spike protein.
And then the body sees that spike protein, produces antibodies to it, and then you got immunity.”
The messenger RNA doesn’t stay long in your body.
“And within 18 hours, that messenger RNA is destroyed, it’s gone, in 18 hours.
It can’t affect your genetics.”
