Covid19

Since March 2020, I’ve had this internal debate of getting the Covid Vaccine mostly underlined by the following: The science behind mRNA is fascinating and so is the engineering of the vaccine Every strand of mRNA is made up of four molecular building blocks called nucleosides. But in its altered, synthetic form, one of those building blocks, like a misaligned wheel on a car, was throwing everything off by signaling the immune system. So Karikó and Weissman simply subbed it out for a slightly tweaked version, creating a hybrid mRNA that could sneak its way into cells without alerting the body’s defenses. ...

Over the last few days, I’ve been meandering through Bert’s webpage and a few other sites - Such a treasure trove of information on the C-19 vaccine and biology/technology in general. No seriously, dive into these links for some great layman(ish) explanation of DNA, RNA, Vaccines and what not! Reverse Engineering the source code of the BioNTech/Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine No, Really, mRNA Vaccines Are Not Going To Affect Your DNA The story of mRNA: From a loose idea to a tool that may help curb Covid I Made a Covid-19 Vaccine in my Kitchen and it Worked Note: These links point to my Wallabag instance. I’d much prefer linking to the original article. However, I find this as a good way to save information which I can access later even if the original source vanishes. ...
