My wife and I are both docs and we have both taken the vaccine without any problems. I had my third booster dose yesterday. I have no problems with the science of the mRNA vaccines. They have decoded the genes for the virus and snipped the RNA for the code for the S protein (thanks @Dabox23 for the correction) unique to the virus. Obviously, we didn't give enough time to test to make sure the S protein doesn't resemble other proteins in our body, but 9 months since they were first introduced, we haven't seen any effects as such.

The main problems are that some people develop reactions to the polyethylene glycol substrate that the mRNA is packaged in for transport and protection. The mRNA will be eaten and recycled by the bodies normal mechanisms in less than three days. Your body will generate antibodies to the S protein your cells make from the mRNA in the vaccine. The only difference between the mRNA vaccine and the traditional protein based vaccines is that in mRNA vaccine, it uses the bodies own protein generation mechanism to manufacture the S protein

At both of my hospitals, we are at an all time high for covid admissions and people needing ventilators, including young. Unvaccinated rate is 98% and 99% respectively. The mRNA vaccines give some protection against the Delta variant, even moreso than those who have had Covid and recovered. The antibodies wane over time, and you will need booster doses to maintain immunity. The virus can mutate if hangs around long enough, and that is problem we are seeing. If more people would vaccinate, it would lessen the transmission and strain on society.

These mRNA vaccines, particularly Pfizer, work. Those who say they are BS are spreading FUD. Don't believe it. Vaccinated people are close to 100x less likely to need hospitalization than unvaccinated. Ivermectin has been tried in an extensive trial in USA, and has been shown to make no difference in results. Vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (if started early enough) have been the only things that have been proven to be effective.
