The mrna technology mirrors what the virus does in the body and uses its own mechanisms against it. I would not expect the mrna to do anything the native virus doesn’t (in fact probably does less because it is only a small part of the viral genome). But undoubtedly we will learn more as targeted treatments become more widespread. This technology is particularly exciting for cancer research and treatment - we may soon be able to innoculate people against their own cancer. Like any new technology it won’t be smooth but that does not mean it isn’t worth pursuing. Any drug or therapy has pros and cons and everyone has to asses their own risk and benefits
I agree. Which is why I was curious about the telomere attrition.
“Any drug or therapy has pros and cons and everyone has to asses their own risk and benefits”
In the old days doctors were trustworthy and we could count on them to help us assess the risks and benefits.
Today they have become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
