Do the Benefits of COVID Vaccines Outweigh the Risks?

You probably have heard of the Miami doctor who died shortly after getting the Pfizer vaccine. Since that video, I’ve learned some new things about that case in an autopsy report, which I’ll talk about in my next video.

But for this video, I’m going to look at the overall benefits vs. risks of the COVID vaccines - Pfizer and Moderna and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. 

The mRNA vaccines contain a tiny piece of mRNA that tells the body's cells to make some proteins, in this case, antigens. These antigens then stimulate the immune system to make antibodies that specifically become ready to attack the antigens of the virus.

So these mRNA vaccines make the immune system get to work in a particular, targeted manner. On the contrary, when a virus infects you, it's like a bo-mb goes off within the immune system. Things are chaotic and messy.

And this is why immunological processes like Guiilan Barre syndrome, myocarditis, and immune thrombocytopenia are more likely to occur after a viral infection and much less likely to occur after a vaccine.
