Dumb question maybe, but how do vaccine developers ensure that the vaccine they inject you with doesn't cause the same level of ailment as just getting the disease out in public?

What makes the covid19 in a vaccine less "aggressive" than the covid19 out there in public?

It's not the actual virus. I believe all the vaccine does is makes the body react as if the virus is present, thus forcing the body to build the necessary antibodies and proteins to stave off the actual virus should you come into contact with it.

It’s not Covid-19. It tricks your body into believing it is. You’re not going to die from getting injected with RNA.

These are RNA vaccines, I would suggest everyone read up on this beforehand because it something that we are about to test on a HUGE swath of the population.

Up until November 2020, no mRNA vaccine, drug, or technology platform, had ever been approved for use in humans, and before 2020, mRNA was only considered a theoretical or experimental candidate for use in humans.

Only fragments of the virus’s genetic code are in the vaccine, so it lacks the molecular blueprint an otherwise whole viral genome would use to self-replicate.

The RNA fragment only codes for a part of the virus, usually a distinguishing surface feature that programs our immune system to identify said feature as foreign.

It’d be like programming the immune system to look for Andy Dalton by only showing it a picture of red hair
