mRNA is short-lived, metabolized, etc. That's exactly how Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work.

You seem to be arguing against the principle of vaccination in general.

mRNA are short-lived but the modified spike-specific T cells T-cells they create are not.

But that's just ordinary, natural human immunity. Your body naturally produces "thing-specific T-cells" for a large number of "not self" things it has encountered throughout your life, to defend you from them.

It's part of how your body's automatic anti-virus system works. It has a very clever system, where some cells learn to recognise foreign proteins.

There is no spike protein actually in these T cells. They are just trained to recognise spike protein, waiting to mobilise quickly to pretect you from it if it's detected in future.

Why would you not want that?

Do you have some evidence that your spike-specific T cells themselves cause harm, in a way that your other thing-specific T cells do not? (It's not impossible, but seems unlikely.)
