    If mrna, is in the covid 19 vaccine. How would that effect a person with an issue with protein such as MGUS?

    • @DrVanessa
      @DrVanessa  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m not super familiar with that disease, but looked it up. It appears as if that disease is due to an abnormal protein in the blood. I’m not sure how that specific protein would interact (if at all) with the spike protein from the covid vaccine. In theory, the covid vaccine mRNA is translated in the body into the spike protein that it codes for, that protein the. Initiates an immune response. I don’t see this disease being an issue with the vaccine. However, I am a scientist and not a medical doctor, so always refer to your medical doctor for advice.

  • @MrJmuno
    @MrJmuno 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Can anything unintentional occur from injecting Mrna into our bodies? I saw that it basically puts caps onto the crown of the covid virus so it can't connect to something ( not in medical field or anything so doing my best to explain this) but, my question is, can this injection of Mrna block something else from being absorbed into our body?

    • @DrVanessa
      @DrVanessa  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The mRNA codes for the spike protein on the COVID-19 virus. So mRNA can be made into protein and that protein is what stimulates an immune response. mRNA itself degrades fairly quickly, so it doesn’t last very long in the body. I made another video on how the mRNA vaccine works, that may help you understand a bit better as well.

      Sorry I missed this comment! The protein is a result of the mRNA, and the size of the mRNA can vary depending on the protein it codes for. The larger the protein, the larger the mRNA. However, they vary within a range and are never very big. The mRNA will appear longer as for every three nucleotide bases, one amino acid is coded for.

    Hello, Doctor! Nice video. However, just for clarification are you saying that because DNA is too large to leave the cell it creates mRNA to send instructions to different cells? I’m getting lost in the details.

    • @DrVanessa
      @DrVanessa  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      DNA is too large to leave the nucleus of the cell. Therefore, mRNA is made from the DNA code within the nucleus. At that point, mRNA can leave the nucleus and attach to a ribosome (in the same cell, not other cells) and be translated into protein. Hope that helps clarify!

    Thanks Dr. Vannessa. I've a question about how the mRNA contained in a vaccine, ie the Covid-19 vaccine, might work.
    When the same mRNA strand is given to many different people of different lineages and genetic make-ups, is it bound to produce the same effect in everybody? Is the protein synthesis that occurs as a result going to produce the same protein in everybody, or will the produced protein be different to some extent, in different individuals?
    If the produced protein is the same in all who receive this same mRNA strand, would it work the same in all individuals? Or is it bound to affect the bodies/bodily processes of different individuals differently?
    Thank you.

    • @DrVanessa
      @DrVanessa  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Andrew, thank you for your comment. mRNA is processed the same way in everyone. The code is read the same and would produce the same protein every time in every one. The body would recognize the protein as foreign and mount an immune response, thus, creating antibodies. However, there is a chance that some could react to the protein differently. I hope this helps!

    This vaccine was done way too fast. The day after my second injection I felt so bad I couldn't move out of bed for two days. No vaccine has ever had this effect, which proves that it was designed too quickly without worrying about the side effects.
    Even when I had the flu several years ago I was not that sick.
