There are numerous correction mechanisms, and other mechanisms that destroy malformed proteins and mRNA chains. Wikipedia claims one out of every 1000 to 100000 amino acids added to a forming protein is wrong. Each ribosome is proceeding to add amino acids to a chain at about 10 per second, and millions (or way more) proteins are being produced all the time.
