WHAT IS MRNA AND HOW DOES IT WORK? DR. JAMES JARVIS OF NORTHERN LIGHT HEALTH EXPLAINS HOW RNA IS SORT OF LIKE A PHOTOCOPY OF DNA USED TO MAKE PROTEINS, AND THERE ARE NO LIVE VIRUSES IN THE PFIZER COVID-19 VACCINE :55 DR. JAMES JARVIS IN THIS CASE IT TRICKS OUR OWN CELLS TO MAKE A PROTEIN THAT IS SIMILAR TO A PROTEIN ON THE VIRUS WHAT ABOUT TOXIC INGREDIENTS? DR. DORA MILLS FROM MAINE HEALTH SAYS: 2:59 DORA MILLS THERE'S ALWAYS INGREDIENTS THAT PEOPLE CAN BE ALLERGIC TO BUT FROM WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THERE HAVE BEEN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO RECEIVE THESE VACCINES ALREADY AND ARE RECEIVING THEM NOW AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXTRAORDINARILY SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CAN MRNA VACCINES ALTER YOUR DNA? THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO: 1:39 DR. JARVIS THE GOOD NEWS IS MESSENGER RNA IS DESTROYED BY OUR BODIES SO IT KIND OF FOOLS OURSELVES INTO CREATING THESE PROTEINS AND TURNING ON OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IT THEN QUICKLY DEGRADED SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS RNA FLOATING AROUND INSIDE YOU THAT CAN CAUSE MISCHIEF THAT CANNOT HAPPEN IS NATURAL IMMUNITY IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VACCINE INDUCED IMMUNITY? 5:01 DR. DORA ANN MILLS THE PROBLEM WITH NATURAL IMMUNITY IS THAT IT CAN BE DEADLY YOU CAN DIE FROM IT FIRST BEFORE YOU ARE IMMUNE AND YOU CAN TRANSMUTE THE DISEASE TO OTHER PEOPLE DO THE VACCINES CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS? 6:45 ABOUT 1 IN 7 PEOPLE WIL GET A MILD FEVER SOME WILL GET FATIGUE HEADACHE ALL OVER ACHE THOSE ARE COMMON SIGNS YOUR BODY IS MOUNTING AN IMMUNE RESPONSE IT'S A GOOD THING ACTUALLY AS FOR WHEN WILL THE EVERYDAY PERSON WILL GET THE VACCINE, IT'S LIKELY THAT SHOTS CAN BE SCHEDULED THROUGH THEIR DOCTORS OFFICE, OR OTHER PHARMACIES LIKE YOU WOULD GET THE FLU SHOT...BUT WITH MODERNA'S COVID VACCINE BEFORE THE FDA TOMORROW--- AND OTHER VACCINES IN DEVELOPMENT THERE COULD BE MORE OPTIONS WHEN THAT TIME COAdvertisementMaine health experts separate fact from fiction regarding COVID-19 vaccineAs the first COVID-19 vaccine doses are being given to Maine health care workers, there are questions, confusion and false claims regarding the vaccines.Maine health care experts are weighing in to separate fact from fiction and answering some common questions.WHAT IS IN THE COVID-19 VACCINES? The ingredients in the Pfizer vaccine have been made public by the company, and include messenger RNA, fats to stabilize it, salts to maintain the pH of the vaccine and sugar to stop it from breaking down when frozen.WHAT IS mRNA AND HOW DOES IT WORK?Dr. James Jarvis of Northern Light Health said messenger RNA is like a photocopy of DNA used to make proteins, and there are no live viruses in the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.In this case, it tricks our own cells to make a protein that is similar to a protein on the virus,” Jarvis said.WHAT ABOUT TOXIC INGREDIENTS? “There’s always ingredients that people can be allergic to, but from what we know right now, there have been tens of thousands of people who received these vaccines already and are receiving them now, and they have been extraordinarily safe and effective,” Dr. Dora Anne Mills, of MaineHealth said. CAN mRNA VACCINES ALTER YOUR DNA? The short answer is no, according to Jarvis.“The good news is messenger RNA is destroyed by our bodies, so it kind of fools ourselves into creating these proteins and turning on our immune system. It then quickly degrades so you don’t have to worry about this RNA floating around inside you that can cause mischief. That cannot happen,” Jarvis said. IS NATURAL IMMUNITY IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN VACCINE INDUCED IMMUNITY?“The problem with natural immunity is that it can be deadly. You can die from it first before you are immune, and you can transmit the disease to other people,” Mills said. ARE THE VACCINES DEVELOPED AGAINST COVID-19 USING CELLS OF ABORTED FETUSES?“Both Pfizer and Moderna do not use any kind of fetal products or anything,” Mills said. DO THE VACCINES CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS?“About one in 7 people will get a mild fever, some will get fatigue, headache, all-over ache. Those are common signs your body is mounting an immune response. It’s a good thing actually,” Mills said.DEBUNKING VIDEO ON SOCIAL MEDIA CLAIMING THAT VACCINES CAN BE USED TO INJECT A MICROCHIP TO TRACK SOMEONE“The vaccines are used to microchip people? Well, I have never heard that before. I don’t know how it is possible that you could microchip someone with a vaccine. it is a liquid, so it’s not a solid. Microchips being a solid I am not concerned about it,” Mills said. It will likely be several months before the vaccine becomes more widely available in Maine. When that happens, the vaccine will be administered through doctor’s offices or pharmacies.Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention Director Dr. Nirav Shah said when it is time to get vaccinated, you will get a card saying where you got it, which vaccine you got and when you need to come back for the second dose. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines require two doses.As the first COVID-19 vaccine doses are being given to Maine health care workers, there are questions, confusion and false claims regarding the vaccines.Maine health care experts are weighing in to separate fact from fiction and answering some common questions.AdvertisementWHAT IS IN THE COVID-19 VACCINES?
