Am pretty sure the tech already being used in individualized cancer treatments. In vaccine form specifically, I believe these are the first, although looking into it the mRNA ones are liable to have far fewer side-effects than the more traditional ones, on several levels.Do you know how long mRNA vaccines have been widely used in humans?
The mRNA vaccines do not use an immune system irritant (adjuvant) like the subunit vaccines, which could be (is) a cause for concern among some. The subunit technology in general has been called into question compared to live attenuated vaccines following publication of Peter Aaby's research crossing vaccination status with overall mortality rates of large numbers of people in Africa and S Asia.
But... we know what the Covid virus can do, making it worth considerable risk to gain the upper hand on this thing.
“You have all these odd clinical and pathological changes caused by this novel bat coronavirus, and you’re about to meet it with all of these vaccines with which you have no experience,” said Paul Offit, an infectious disease expert at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and an authority on vaccines.
Paul Offit is the same guy who once said babies could tolerate 10,000 vaccines at once and holds several patents for traditionally developed vaccines...there might be a financial reason for him to call into question novel vaccine development.
