What is the conspiracy of mRNA?

I thought mRNA vaccines tell your cells to make protein and these protein make large molecules and they fight the virus the virus spike that locks onto the virus spike molecules.

Is this what people are afraid of? Because the mRNA vaccines tell your cells to make protein that these molecules bind to the virus spike? And that the conspiracy saying it not natural and not safe and your cells to make is making this protein?

People are often afraid of what they’re told to be afraid of. Don’t overthink it

There’s usually not a lot of rational analysis or reasoning involved

I'm not sure a science forum is the best place to ask what idiots think. Why not ask them, if you are curious? I feel sure the USA has masses of social media channels where such idiots hold the stage. But no doubt there are loads of different garbled reasons and each idiot will seize on the one that appeals to his particular preoccupations and/or his particular reason for hating experts. (I think it rather unlikely many of them will be able to talk about the actual mechanism by which mRNA vaccines work, as you are doing.)

It seems like everything that affects people, during the last 5 years, in a way that makes them ill, gets blamed on the vaccine.

One younger married guy I know, was ill during the last couple of years. He was a big guy, and he lost half his body weight, but had recently recuperated, and was back to normal.
Just the other day someone told me he had committed suicide ( by hanging ) and suggested it all stems from him having had 4 Covid vaccines that had messed with his body and his mind.

I just took in the sad news and didn't even bother to engage/correct him.

One aspect of people who prefer a simple explanation that’s wrong rather than a complex answer that’s right, especially in cases when it aligns with their worldview.
