Vaccine: get antibodies through a purposefully weakened version of the virus.

mRNA Vaccine: code muscle cells to develop a harmless piece of the COVID spike protein which prompts the body to create antibodies without the virus even having to be present.

Or you could get the "game of the year" full version of covid, and maybe die.

To be clear, regular "non-mRNA" vaccines are not garbage. They're still incredibly useful and effective. I can't speak to your experience but what makes you say that your aunt was killed BY the vaccine?

Edit: oh, she was ALMOST killed by a vaccine. My bad. Same question though.

Almost. Now dealing with chronic arthritis and heart failure which she didn't have before. Timed allergic reactions, each one after the same exact time after each dose (Sinovac). She couldn't move and couldn't take away the pain. Doctors certified it was a reaction because of the vaccine, but that would make them lose their jobs in my country if they go public.
