>There is also chance of ADE, a very complex unpredictable phenomenon, which was present with the original SARS vaccines.

Again, apples and oranges. This is a completely different class of drugs compared to SARS vaccines from a decade ago. Those were based on live viruses, which the mRNA vaccines are not.

And? How can you make these kind of claims it has not been verified? Just because the mechanism is different it does not mean it is free from ADE. ADE is result of using improper antigen for creation of immune response. mRNA is not an antigen, the protein produced from it is. If you choose wrong antigen, and deliver it in any possible way, it will still create wrong immunity and will result in ADE.
