Here I describe a brief overview of how the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA vaccines work. Taking a vaccine is one’s personal choice, and I hope this video can help someone make that decision rooted in science.

- NONE. ZERO. ZIP. NADA. 🎉 what a wonderful highlight to show the importance of HPV vaccination (critical for all genders) to halt the spread of deadly cancers.
- just a beautiful day to wake up without: Diphtheria Hepatitis A & B Human Papillomavirus Measles Meningococcal Mumps Polio Pneumoccal Rubella Pertussis and more + thank you science! thank you vaccines!
- Replying to @ScientistSwandaThere is a lot more information I wanted to cover, such as the immunity length over time, side effects, and non-mRNA vaccine technologies. We could discuss this for hours. But, the focus here is on the technology itself.
- Replying to @ScientistSwandaTwitter cut off the intro to the video, full length can be found on IG: @ swandive_rob
00:00 - Replying to @ScientistSwandaI do use some technical terms, please find them defined below. Im happy to hear questions and comments. Thank you for taking a little time to learn about RNA! 🧬
- I took 57 flights this year and thankfully never got sick. Hmm I wonder why 🤔😉
- Here I give a brief overview of how the vaccine against #Monkeypox works. This vaccine is under various brand names including JYNNEOS (US), IMVANEX (EU), and IMVAMUNE (Canada) which is made by the company Bavarian Nordic. More info in 🧵
00:00 - nana & I are back with another round of shots! 😉 Covid-19 XBB1.5 booster ✅
- Replying to @ScientistSwanda(technical terms: 3’UTR/5’UTR = untranslated regions of the mRNA that do not code for the protein but aid in stability. Lipid = fat molecule. Ribosome = cell machinery that makes proteins from mRNA.
- Replying to @ScientistSwandaMacrophage = a white blood cell in our body that responds to infection. Antigen = foreign protein that antibodies detect.)
- Here I describe a brief overview of how the Oxford/AstraZeneca viral vector vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 work. Please reference my other videos for mRNA vaccine technology.
