And then, the job of the vaccine is to weaken the virus in a way to where it has a hard time reproducing itself inside the body. How would you know what your vaccine is capable of without the actual virus you created it for? lol
That’s all Dee was saying. Her post was hilarious! lol

He’s partially correct. I think the MRNA technology that was used in the vaccine was developed around 10 years ago.
