No mRNA directs the expression of genes (DNA) to produce proteins that help the immune system to cap the spikes on the coronavirus so that it cannot dock with our cells. You know like A2-73 docks in just the right way with to agonise S1R receptor in human cells.

The mRNA instructs the ribosomes in the cell to produce the spike proteins. The cell nucleus, the part you would be concerned about, is not involved.

The immune system trains off of that protein exposure; the proteins themselves disappear after a couple of days, their only legacy a trained immune system. It is really elegant science.

Nope. Other way around.

Doesnt mRNA communicate with a Cell's dna to make changes?

Messenger RNA (mRNA) takes the genetic message, the sequence of amino acids that make a gene from the cell's DNA in the nucleus out to the ribosomes, which connect the amino acids in the correct order, which is on the mRNA.

So, no, the insertion of some mRNA, as with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination, won't, can't in any way change the sequence of the nucleotides (A's and T,s' G's, and C's) the genetic code in the DNA. mRNA can't provoke or cause mutations in the genetic code in DNA.

I got my Pfizer vaccination yesterday, the first shot. Go back in three weeks for the follow-up shot. No concerns. My DNA is unaffected, and I had no side effects.
