Keep in mind, every single cold and flu you've ever had has used the same mRNA pathway to duplicate itself. Anyone reading this has had this happen in their bod

  It's a little different, right? So J&J uses modified adenovirus which acts more similarly to real life, in that it's using a DNA transcription process (that's where they think some error occur and causes clotting/stroke issues). Although they are also just making a protein that displays on the outside of the cell. A real virus will create copies of itself via a similar method. These copies are inside of the cell and later leave it. So it's mostly a concern that in one way we are targeting a spike protein on out own cell, but normally a virus would be complete and not be displayed as part of the cell wall. That's where I wonder if some people's immune system might code off of other normal proteins in addition to the spike. I would have thought there would at least have been a study about autoimmune antibody levels. I found one about severe covid patients having a higher likelihood of having them, but I couldn't find a study looking at the vaccines. It's pretty frustrating that I'm being downvoted for asking what I think is a legitimate question, one that apparently hasn't been looked into (since I can't find any study and the downvoters haven't provided one either).
