Moderna biotech company created a vaccine that targets the virus’s messenger RNA. The mRNA is like a piece of mail that’s sent to the manufacturing part of the virus. It's the design blueprint of the proteins that control cellular function and chemical reactions.
Moderna basically wants to make the virus inefficient with a vaccine that stimulates the body’s natural defenses on a cellular level. Literally injecting nucleic acid, or DNA or sometimes RNAs into our cells. Those nucleic acids cause the cells to make pieces of the virus. And then the immune system mounts a response to those pieces of the virus. So it's a trick to make ourselves make parts of the virus, without the virus being present.
