Much ado has been made that the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines are delivering messenger RNA directly into the genetic transcription process. Transcription is the synthesis of RNA from DNA. The Genetic information then flows from DNA into a protein, the substance that gives an organism its form.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is fragile and “would be chopped to pieces by our natural enzymes if it were injected directly into the body. To protect the vaccine, Moderna wraps the mRNA in oily bubbles made of lipid nanoparticles.” Upon injection into their human host “the vaccine particles bump into cells and fuse to them, releasing mRNA. The cell’s molecules read its sequence and build spike proteins.” Moderna calls these “so-called spike proteins,” also naturally produced by the COVID virus, “a tempting target for potential vaccines and treatments.” (1)
