You apparently didn't understand what an APC is. APC is Antigen Presenting Cell. The entire purpose of that cell is to present bits of foreign protein to the rest of your immune system. It is full of foreign bits of protein because that is what it does. It is no more going to be hurt by presenting antigens than your neurons are hurt delivering electrical signals from sensory perceptions.

If you are going to cite literature at least understand what you're citing.

From random article [1]

> Antigen-presenting cells (APC) are cells that can process a protein antigen, break it into peptides, and present it in conjunction with class II MHC molecules on the cell surface where it may interact with appropriate T cell receptors.

APCs do not hoover up random mRNA to translate. They hoover up remnants after a carnage.

The vaccine is jabbed into the muscle, the spikes are (likely) expresses from the muscle cells, most definitely not only APC cells. Even if they were, it is not normal for APCs to be producing the proteins.
