The synthetic mRNA carried on lipid nanoparticles appears to be resistant to breakdown by human ribonucleases by design so the product would be long-lasting and produce the protein product of interest for a considerable time period...it is a big problem when the protein is the pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Spike.
The more mRNA shots you take, the greater the immune system damage, the greater your risk of impaired health. We have a global humanitarian crisis happening in real-time and the healthcare establishment is baffled. PATHETIC!
