An important thing to keep in mind is that viruses do this type of thing in your body all the time. Your cells are constantly being programmed by viruses to generate proteins that are used to build viruses, many using messenger RNA (like coronavirus).
Obviously this will be the first wide spread use of a vaccine using a mechanism viruses have used for millions of years. So although care, caution, and respect are clearly justified, I’d just like to see a little more public education on how viruses work in the first place.
It’s easy for the public to hear “the government is programming your cells” and not even understand the basics of how cells or viruses work in the first place.
