Quotes:
In 1990, scientists discovered that they could inject mice with mRNA and DNA to make the mouse cells create a protein. That protein production lasted for a few weeks. In 1992, mRNA coding for vasopressin (anti-diuretic hormone) was injected into rats, resolving their diabetes insipidus symptoms. From these findings, it was theorized that a viral or bacterial protein could be created by a living animal’s cells, and that the immune system of the animal would then react against it. The only thing standing in the way was the inherent instability of mRNA. It just doesn’t like to be outside of cells.
From the 1990s to the 2010s, the race was on to develop a way to deliver mRNA without it becoming unstable....By the time the Coronavirus Pandemic came, several companies were working on mRNA vaccines with relatively stable delivery systems.
By the time Moderna and Pfizer submitted their data to the Food and Drug Administration for Emergency Use Authorization, about 30,000 people in the Moderna trial (including my wife) and over 43,000 in the Pfizer trial had received the vaccine.

By the time I, age 62 at the time, was allowed to be able to get Covid vaccinated, probably over 10 million people had already got the Moderna vaccine I got.
“experimental”
I suspect members of Congress and Biden got jabbed before you ever could.
