I have a friend who is anti mRNA vaccines as they are so new.

The question you should be asking is "are mRNA vaccines riskier than getting the diseases they're intended to prevent"

Both questions are legitimate and worth asking, preferably in order: are they risky? Is the benefit better than not taking it?

Your question is a good response to the people who ask "Should I get the covid vaccine?".

Their question is a good response to the people who say "I'm not anti-vaccine, I'm anti-THIS-vaccine".
