Greetings,
RNA or "Ribonucleic Acid" is one of the components responsible for the coding, decoding and construction of organic beings like us on the molecular level. One type of RNA is "mRNA" or "Messenger Ribonucleic Acid", who's main function is relaying coded information from the DNA in the nucleus of a cell, to the Ribosomes in the Cytoplasm where protein is synthesised.
In this video I talk about DNA, RNA and mRNA in simple terms, with a simplistic analogy relating it to a 3D Printer. As such I demonstrate how a virus may seek to highjack the process to reproduce itself and how our immune system may fight against such an infection.
I talk about the Pfizer mRNA vaccine and how it works, leveraging our bodies' natural capacity to synthesise protein to produce faux virus parts for the body to form a defence against.
I also discuss three worries that I have with the technique.
