For a virus where 99+% recover naturally? Imo this was way overblown.
The cure, in the form of RNA modification seems much scarier. What happens when new vaccines in this form interact with each other? I don't know, and no one else does. Hard pass for me.

#272Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why do you believe that the FDA is holding them back? So far the process appears to be approval after the minimum of safety and effectiveness testing. This means that people won’t waste time or be harmed by a failed vaccine candidate. I don’t work in medicine and am just a bystander like most. Is there something I am missing?
The FDA has banned it I'm the US, it's holding them back.

I think you might have a misunderstanding of how the mRNA vaccines work. The mRNA in the vaccines are simply read by your cells to produce the spike proteins to train your immune system.
There is no RNA (or DNA for that matter) modification taking place in vivo.

Not a biologist, but from genome.gov:
"Messenger RNAs, also known as mRNA, are one of the types of RNA that are found in the cell. This particular one, like most RNAs, are made in the nucleus and then exported to the cytoplasm where the translation machinery, the machinery that actually makes proteins, binds to these mRNA molecules and reads the code on the mRNA to make a specific protein. So in general, one gene, the DNA for one gene, can be transcribed into an mRNA molecule that will end up making one specific protein."
Still doesn't address how modifications would interact together.
