How do the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines work?
Another thing that I was wondering about is this:
> … no [mRNA] vaccines of this type have been approved for widespread human use.
according to [CBC](https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid-19-vaccine-pfizer-faq-1.5795486).
Why is this the case? Thanks!

My limited understanding is that we are in effect not putting in a dead or weakened virus into our body, but instead giving our body the blueprints to print out the right antibodies that will defeat the virus.
This has an advantage that because your own molecular machinery is building the “cure”, your body shouldn’t react negatively to it, because it is all native to your body.
This is my limited understanding.
