1. I am not aware that there were direct embryo stem cells used in the synthesis of the platform. I was concerned about this as well and could discuss the ethics of it all day long, but there were no stem cell products from abortions as a direct part of this injection. I do believe that there was some early research that may have used stem cells. I am protestant of a conservative denomination and ran it by my pastor who said it would not be sinful for me to take this vaccine.
2. The actual vaccine has mRNA in it. This is a new platform for vaccination, but understanding the science it is a very elegant solution. There is no way that the mRNA can interface with the DNA of my cells. All that will happen is the vector will randomly find several cells and release the mRNA that codes for spike protein antibodies into the cellular cytosol (DNA is in the nucleus, this cannot access the nucleus) and eventually hit upon the ribosomes, and dump out antibodies to C-19 spike protein which is the Achilles heel of this virus. It is also my understanding that the second injection will drive T-cell and memory immunity which is why this is such an effective vaccination.
Thanks for a really great post!

What is “the vector”?
Thank you for sharing your experience.
Good writeup.
The vaccine’s mRNA approach is elegant but it’s also kind of creepy in the way it induces your cells to produce the antibodies. I totally get that it doesn’t touch your DNA but it still has more of a “hacking the software” or “tinkering with the wiring” feel than a traditional vaccine does.
“I do believe that there was some early research that may have used stem cells.”
Not for any COVID vaccines.
Thank you for the excellent and succinct explanation. And thank you for sharing your personal experience, Attila.
“It is also my understanding that the second injection will drive T-cell and memory immunity”
Are the first and second shots identical, interchangeable products, or is there some difference between them?
