1. RNA vaccine ingredients. These vaccines have RNA wrapped up inside tiny droplets of oil and cholesterol. The lipids are similar to your cells - they have mild chemical charge on one side that orients the RNA (short-lived genetic message encoding the coronavirus spike protein) 2. ... inside them (biological systems do this all the time).

Comparing two estimates: #California 03/07/20: about 100 #COVID19 cases confirmed. Estimate #1: Assuming 20% of cases are severe enough to seek treatment, and 25% of such cases were actually tested at hospitals, I estimate 2000 infected people in the state. Estimate #2: given #COVID19 R0=2.5, a 6 day infection cycle, spreading beginning around same time as DNA estimated Seattle cases of 7-weeks ago, we would have 669 cases from a single individual, and 1043 if we had one new spreader arrive per week until Chinese air travel ceased.
