and years prior to these particular covid-19 vaccines. They also have very, very few ingredients relative to other vaccines (pretty much the only window for bad allergies or anaphylactic shock comes in the form of potential reaction to the lipids involved and those are exceedingly rare), so they're actually far safer in most regards.

The mRNA itself breaks down extremely quickly in the body and it's a very targeted approach in and of itself as well.

These mRNA vaccines are very safe and the testing has already and will continue to bear that out. The only rough part with these vaccines are how they really prime up your immune system to fight off an infection, and those side effects quickly subside.
