Vaccines are used to protect against deadly viruses. Traditional vaccines have used inactive (dead) viruses to promote an immune response to fight the actual virus. Examples include, small pox, polio, measles, viral pneumonia.
For several decades researchers have been investigating using messenger RNA (mRNA) to develop vaccines. Instead of using an inactive virus, the vaccines use mRNA to provide the genetic code so your body develops a harmless protein used by the virus to enter cells. Your bodies immune system then identifies the protein as a foreign material that must be destroyed by creating anti-bodies. The antibodies provide protection against the actual virus.
As with traditional vaccines, there are many myths about the new mRNA vaccines developed against SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19.

The development of vaccines to fight viral infections has reduced or eliminated many diseases that plagued humanity for thousands of years. In developed countries, several have lived with the threat of small pox, polio, measles, and other deadly virus. There is a robust anti-vaccination movement. It has more to do with an anti-government interference movement than based on scientific facts. The end result can be the reemergence of diseases that were under control.
