There are some very slight issues with the mRNA vaccines, but it’s not a health concern. The may be slightly less efficacious than a vaccine containing a weakend or inactive coronavirus because the mRNA vaccines work by having your cells produce a very specific protein on part of the virus instead of the whole outer shell (capsid) of the virus, which provides more proteins that your immune system can recognize. This could lead to a narrower “immunity envelope” as the virus evolves over time.
I’ve had about 8 mRNA shots at this point. If there was a major issue, I’d probably know about it by now.
mRNA vaccines are being used to in increasingly successful trials against cancer. There was a recent announcement that they were able to use mRNA technologies to customize a treatment to fight a patient’s specific cancer, which could be used to cure many types of cancer. The discovery is so big, that they think they could use it to create actual vaccines against some cancers.
They want to ban the most promising cancer research.
Except for many decades, certainly since WWII, much of that research was done by American companies, and now all that research investment may be lost. Sure foreign companies have an enormous opportunity here, but it will take significant time to replace all that American research.
And what happens to major studies that are already underway, and will now be cancelled because the funding is lost? Years of research down the drain, as they start over somewhere else.
These people are so profoundly stupid that they think if they cancel mRNA research dollars, it ends this evil medical reaearch. It won’t. Foreign companies WILL pick it up, but it delays the final results by a large amount, probably years. That’s years that lifesaving therapies will be denied to people who are suffering and dying…
…All because we have a psychotic junkie with a brain parasite from eating road kill, whose entire medical knowledge is comprised of Internet conspiracy theories and his own imagination, making medical decisions for not only our current citizens, but all future citizens as well.

I’ve had 6 as well, but I was more worried about the effect on under 5 year olds :-)
As I said though, as long as I hear nothing more concrete I have to assume the FDA is simply compromised.

Honestly, despite the shortcomings, I legitimately think that mRNA vaccines technology will be one of the biggest medical innovations in my lifetime.
Not if the MAGA Nazis have their way.
Luckily, there are other people in other countries who can invent stuff.

JFC, America is really, really screwed.
