Nut job is clearly a matter of perspective. I’d consider one who gets an untested sauce that fucks with your rna, to purportedly protect them from a disease that 99.9% recover fully from, for purposes of flying halfway around the world to fuck Thai whores, pumped into their veins a nutjob.
You do you tho.

I clearly don’t give AF. Fact is that it’s impossible to know what happens in 3 months, or 3 years, or 3 decades and this isn’t technology that’s been tried before. Guinea pig away though if you want it.
The general rule of thumb I developed after 25 years of working for the government is that if they’re pressing you to do something, it’s probably the wrong thing to do.

First of all, things don't really "fuck with" your RNA outside of like... radiation. RNA (specifically mRNA) are instructions for cells written from your DNA. Functionally, to change your mRNA, you'd need to change DNA first.
What the vaccine does is essentially what the virus does: Viruses are not living things. They're basically a receptor attachment w/ rogue mRNA inside it. When a virus enters a body, it shuffles along until it finds the specific cell receptor it needs to attach to, and then when it's attached, it injects its mRNA into the cell. The ribosome doesn't know where mRNA comes from, it just knows to read it and execute.
What happens is that instead of the normal cell functions happening, the rogue mRNA hijacks the cell and causes the ribosome to instruct the cell to continually replicate the virus until the cell ruptures and releases a multitude of the virus.
The mRNA vaccine works similarly. Rather than crafting and introducing dummy versions to the body in hopes of teaching the body to make specific antibodies for the virus, the mRNA vaccine introduces specialized rogue mRNA for cells to produce, which should help getting you closer to the real thing and make more effective antibodies.
So it's an interesting idea that uses the cells' own machinery to do some of the work.
Jacuzzme is correct though that we have no idea what the long-term impact is, which is why companies haven't rolled out requirements for people to be forced to get it - there's a legal liability to be had if there are adverse reactions. If my getting the vaccine cripples me, I can sue the company for all they're worth because they ruined my life.
