    FDA refuses to review Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine

    That alone makes the Moderna mRNA flu vaccine trustworthy.

    Anything the FDA says or does - or doesn’t do, assume it’s not good for your health.

      I mean really, as a scientist in the general field, we need more review and analysis of mRNA vaccines. While it sucks to say, there is some validity to the concerns surrounding mRNA vaccines as their uptake mechanism needs fine tuning. Subtle errors with administration can lead to myocarditis, as the heart uptakes some and produces the viral proteins on it’s surface. This results in the immune system attacking the heart and boom, myocarditis. So while it’s not the 100% safe molecules requiring mercury to function as intended (drastically different than the hazardous molecular structures with mercury), due to the speed it was pushed through testing, there are still a few things we need to iron out. For mRNA vaccines to work as well as the other fully safe vaccines we’ve used to massively increase our average life span, we need to learn how to alter the nano-lipids and make them more selective to which cells uptake them. While the anti-vaxers see this as a win, it’s impeding the research needed to be able to fix one of the very few things they actually had correct.

      It’s weird how my stance has gone from “trust the government they’re doing what they can” to “do not trust the government agencies”
