Foreign mRNA doesn't hurt us because it's recognized by the body as harmful and immediately destroyed by the immune system. This was one of the biggest challenges to developing mRNA based drugs and vaccines.

The mRNA used in the COVID shots isn't normal, of the type found in the wild. It's been created in such a way that the immune system doesn't recognize it, and then wrapped in artificial lipids. So you can't generalize from natural mRNA molecules to the artificial types, they are fundamentally different in both construction and effect.

This is an incredibly bad and short-sighted take.

This is not at all the same situation, and this sort of hubris is what causes public health disasters such as the Vioxx, Thalidomide or Dengvaxia scandals.

This is artificially created genetic material ending up in newborns after the manufacturer assured the public that was not possible.

I consider this incredibly serious.

If you're opposed to genetic material ending up in babies, I have bad news about their habit of putting everything in your house in their mouths.

So the question is if it harms them, which this paper says it doesn't, and the mRNA vaccines are approved for infants already.
