    The vaccine simply uses mRNA code to tell cells to produce a bit of protein. This doesn’t harm the cells

    That’s just not true, cells exposing the spike protein after being forced to produce it by the mRNA vaccine will also be attacked by the immune system. While not necessarily all these cells will be killed there is still some amount of damage that’s being done.

    How is mRNA and its container harmful, what exactly is the concern?

    Regarding the container aka lipid nanoparticles: I do not know and as far as I can tell there has been too little previous work on this to enable us to make long term predictions.

      The immune system predominantly attacks the protein itself, and you lose cells all the time that in itself is not harmful. What’s harmful is a chain reaction the virus causes where it exponentially hijacks more and more cells and converts them to virus factories. The vaccine does not do that.

      In other words your concern stems from having superficial understanding of how this technology works and lack of trust in the experts.
