Apparently the latest crazy conspiracy theory is that vaccinated individuals can harm the unvaccinated because they cough up evil proteins or something.
No, it's not how things work. The only animals with dangerous proteins are venomous snakes and spiders.

Yes, yes, you can't fully trust what those in power claim about the science, because they twist things.
But you can trust even less what CrazyWombat3993 claimed in that forum post that all your friends are passing around.

Conspiracy theorists are weird. They start using technical terms, correctly, that makes me think "Oh, finally, somebody who understands the science".
Then they veer off into crazy lands demonstrating they don't understand science.

There are a lot of good reasons to be skeptical of vaccines in general and of mRNA vaccines in particular. But skeptical scientists have been studying these things for years. mRNA was basically ready to go for new vaccines 3 years ago, but it took this long to get them.
The problem in medicine isn't that they are ignoring dangers, it's that they are far too conservative and far to skeptical, delaying new things that would help people.
I'm fully on the side of skeptics -- but you really have to cite reputable sources for your skepticism and not that viral post by CrazyWombat7303 on a conspiracy theorist forum.
