Covid19 is an RNA virus meaning that if you get infected you are going to get way, way more foreign mRNA in you and many more different such proteins and in far larger doses that reproduce in an uncontrolled way. Claiming that the vaccine is dangerous because of mRNA while not taking covid seriously doesn't make sense. If you are afraid of foreign mRNA covid should terrify you most of all. It isn't just covid that is foreign mRNA but you get a dose of foreign mRNA that makes a vaccine dose look puny when you get a common cold.

I don't think you understood what I wrote, or perhaps I didn't communicate it as well as I could have.

Main point, please re-read, I added a small edit in case that may have caused the lack of clarity.

My concern with the mRNA vaccines is that for people whose first contact with covid (edit: through the vaccine) is that they are not going to be entirely foreign as the mRNA will be processed within the body and will essentially have self/non-self parts to it, i.e. it's possible that your body will both recognize some of it as self and some of it as non-self.

Luckily we have extensive data on the topic and it shows that the vaccines are incredibly safe. I find it funny that people are so concerened about vaccines when air pollution is a vastly bigger problem. People die of salt in their food all the time yet are super scared of miniscule vaccine risks.

As for the vaccines giving autoimmune disease that simply hasn't happened. As your article shows this has been researched for many years and these problems have been solved.

I agree with you that they are miniscule. The issue/conflict that I have is whether they're necessary for people that are a low risk for having a severe response to covid infection.
