The Russians will learn the hard way that the delivery system to get the mRNA into cells goes everywhere, so you end up having normal healthy body cells making foreign proteins. The idea is that the foreign protein being made (individualized for each cancer patient) will get released into the bloodstream so that antibodies will be built against it. The theory is that after the couple of weeks it takes to make antibodies, they will be able to attach to and mark cancer cells for destruction. The problem with this idea is that immune cells will destroy normal body cells that are making the protein before it even gets released, not all of them, but enough of them to cause varying degrees of pathology, always. This is basic biology, the normal immune surveillance and response to what all human nucleated cells display on their MHC-1 sites as they are making proteins. This is why all mRNA platform shots will have serious consequences, no matter what proteins they code for.

No more arms race, just the jabs race. Thanks for the update.
