A good question, one of the paper's authors had the following responses on Twitter:

First tweet:

    i’m going to give a full response asap. but quickly for the record:
    1) the (relatively) small amount of spike protein produced by the mRNA vaccine would not be nearly enough to do any damage
    2) i happily got the mRNA vaccine, FWIW
    3) i encourage everyone to get it
Second tweet:

    a couple prelim responses to anti-vaxxers misrepresenting these findings (here: https://twitter.com/manorlaboratory/status/1388717008544419843?s=21). tl;dr: mRNA vaccine is waaaaay safer than COVID19 and everyone should get it - I did and everyone in my family did as well! Our paper just shows this disease really sucks.
