I'd also be interested to know whether mRNA vaccine, in hijacking the body's own cells then training the immune system to attack them, carries extra risk for those with autoimmune disorders i.e. people whose immune systems already have an unfortunate tendency to attack themselves.

I'm sure this has all been thought about by relevant experts but I'd like to see the published research.

From what I understand, people unlucky enough to have certain conditions haven't been included in the studies, and therefore won't be taking the vaccine. That includes pregnant women, and (I think?) people with autoimmune disorders.
