Moderna Inc announced on Wednesday that it has had officially begun trials of a flu shot with the new technology that was used to make its coronavirus vaccine.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company's COVID-19 shot uses part of the virus's genetic code called messenger RNA, or mRNA, to get the body to recognize the pathogen and attack if a person becomes infected.
Now, Moderna says it has doses the first participants in a clinical trial looking at an influenza vaccine using mRNA technology.
Before the pandemic, mRNA technology was known about but was widely unexplored and unused by scientists.
Now, many believe it can change the future of vaccines, and even be the basis for creating vaccines for HIV/AIDS, which Moderna is also researching.

Amazing how a “free” vaccine minted 14 new billionaires at Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech.
There is nothing inherently wrong with mRNA technology. Its what you choose to have the mRNA construct that’s the question. It’s like a hammer. You could build a house with it, or it could be used as a murder weapon.
😳
They're gonn'a develop a flu shot "based on" the coronavirus and discover;
HOLY CRAP !
It works on CORONA, TOO ! ! !
And no one will scream and shout ....
IT ALWAYS *** WAS *** A FLU ! ! .
Does anyone want to list all the successful mRNA vaccines that have been brought to market?
How nice another dangerous shot to kill and mess people up. Hard Pass!
A cleaner vaccine. There’s a cancer cure in sight with it, too.
I bet this has covid serum in it. Not FDA approved? Not acceptable to my body. Plain and simple.
To a two year old with a hammer, all the world is a nail.
New technology is dangerous. The more complex it is the more likely it is to exhibit emergent behavior (stuff you don’t expect).
When you introduce new technology into a complex system (and there is nothing so complex as the human body) you absolutely need a plan for all the stuff you don’t expect. Which is why you start slow and small, making mistakes and learning as you go.
Instead, when it comes to MRNA technology our medical community is acting like a 15 year old that just found the keys to the liquor cabinet and the Corvette.
It is insane to take a new medical technology and try to use it on every person on the planet who is breathing whether they need it or not. That is stupid and arrogant beyond words to begin with, but that isn’t enough for them.
Now they want to displace successful, working treatments with this new technology. Why? Because to them it’s a cool toy. Consequences don’t factor in any more than that drunk teenager driving 100 mph through a school zone.
This is a technology that’s been emerging for a long time. And the flu has been the primary target. The holy grail of vaccines is a flu shot that doesn’t have to be based on guessing which strains will hit this year, equally effective against all strains, and hopefully given on more of a tetanus shot schedule.
Booster shots..
Perfect post.
wont get EUA so has to go through normal approval process.
will be interesting to see if it gets approved.
Changing the color of Koolaid still makes it Koolaid. Have fun drinking!
Got a flu shot once almost 20 years ago and it made me sicker and for longer than the actual flu so I never got another one and don’t plan to. I think we finally got every strain there is because we haven’t gotten the flu or a cold(coronavirus) in 5-6 years.
