    The worst part about this is that the MRNA tech used in the COVID vaccine was developed specifically to make cancer vaccines.

      They scream about it, but MRNA tech & the other advancements involved enabled us to get from zero-to-vaccine in record time, and I’m convinced that because of that, my 84yo mother with COPD is still here!

      They call it conspiracy, I call that victory!

      And mRNA vaccine technology has been advancing for decades. It’s disingenuous to suggest that “it only took ten months.”

        There were also early coronavirus vaccines being developed with mRNA tech to fight SARS and MERS. I have a friend who got the MERS vaccine as part of a test group.
