Assignment:

You are all putting a lot of effort into learning about the immune system. You also know a bit about protein synthesis and how the body responds to the presence of mRNA. That being the case, let's look at this new COVID vaccine using the lens of all of the new information you have learned.

Let's start with this article by MIT's Anne Trafton:

Now, find an article on your own, from a source you trust, on the new vaccine. Share it here in the discussion with one quote (yes, finally an assignment where you are allowed to quote!) from the author that explains the article's thesis. Then answer the question: Will you be vaccinated? Why or why not?
