That does not seem natural and it reminds me of a sci fi horror film.

I might be wrong about this, but is Moderna one of the ones whose vaccine uses stem cells from aborted fetal tissue?

That’s because it’s all misinformation and fearmongering. First of all, most of the vaccine candidates (e.g. Oxford’s, which is probably in the lead in terms of timeline) are traditional vaccine types.

Second, the third generation vaccines like Moderna’s simply present mRNA to your ribosomes. Ribosomes are designed to take those instructions and produce whatever protein is encoded. In this case, it’s the antigen (a protein that sits on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, but is not infectious or harmful by itself, but the immune system will identify it as foreign) for SARS-CoV-2. It produces the antigens (just another protein as far as the ribosomes are concerned) and the immune system reacts to them as it would any foreign invader. T-cell and B-cell immune responses remain effective against future encounters with SARS-CoV-2, which means immunity.

Most vaccine candidates are the same as every other traditional vaccine you’ve ever gotten and they’ll likely work just fine. The generation 3 (mRNA) vaccines are faster and cheaper to produce, which means we can make more vaccine doses in less time for less money. For things like Influenza that rapidly mutate, this means we can stay ahead of it and get more effective vaccines, which can save tens of thousands of lives each year.
