State Institute for Drug Control: mRNA vaccines are the exact opposite of heroin. He compared their effects

The mRNA vaccines are also currently facing criticism from government commissioner Peter Kotlar, who is to investigate the covid-19 pandemic.

The SCA claims that mRNA vaccines are the result of decades of research and have undergone the most stringent regulatory processes in the history of medicine.

"They are the exact opposite of heroin - they save lives instead of destroying them. If vaccines had even a fraction of the risks of heroin, they would never have entered circulation - and if they proved dangerous, they would have been banned immediately," he explains.

Side effects of mRNA

ŠÚKL pointed out that, like all medicines, mRNA vaccines can cause side effects, but not everyone may experience them.

"Mild side effects are a sign that the immune system has reacted to the vaccine and triggered the process of antibody production. Examples include pain at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain, fever or chills. These symptoms are usually mild and disappear after a few days," he said.

According to him, the incidence and intensity of side effects depend on many factors, so vaccination should always be consulted with the attending physician.

Control, safety and efficacy of vaccines

The safety of all medicines, including mRNA vaccines, is continuously monitored even after they are registered on the market, according to the State Institute for Drug Control. It recalled that mRNA vaccines, like other medicines, have undergone checks, the results of which have confirmed their safety and efficacy.

"The mRNA vaccines have been carefully tested in clinical trials and have undergone rigorous evaluation by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Based on the results, which confirmed their safety and efficacy, they have been approved for use throughout the European Union," the institute explained.

Thanks to the effects of mRNA, man is protected

He explained that due to the effects of mRNA vaccines , a person is protected from the disease without having to go through the infection itself, or the infection will have a significantly easier course.

"mRNA (messenger RNA) is, simply put, the instructions that give our cells the instructions to make proteins. mRNA vaccine against COVID-19 contains information about a part of the virus - specifically the so-called spike protein (spike protein). Based on this information, our body makes this protein on its own and our immune system learns to recognise it. The spike protein is a small part of the virus that is found on its outer envelope and cannot cause infection on its own. If we later encounter the real virus, our body will already know how to react to it and will quickly destroy it," explained ŠÚKL.

Once the mRNA has done its job, the mRNA is broken down and excreted by the body, according to the institute. "The mRNA from the vaccine never enters the cell nucleus, where the DNA is located. The mRNA only serves as a temporary guide for the cells to make a spike protein, and once that task is done, it is broken down and the body eliminates it. This leaves our DNA completely intact," he explained.
