I'd rather not be injected with bits of mRNA that encode random bits of proteins, thanks. The deltoid is "medically interesting" enough to produce Covid spike proteins.

Won't non-intact mRNA without a stop codon get degraded by Non-stop decay?

you have the idea right , but it isnt a stop codon its a signal sequence on the mRNA that would give it a hall pass.

no cytoplasmic nucleotide transport signal and it gets degraded quickly.

Don’t get the vaccine then, because you are getting small pieces of mRNA.
