I have been trying to find an answer to this question: The mRNA technology has existed for about 20 years, but deemed not safe for human injection. What happened suddenly to allow it to be used?

Where was it said that it was ‘deemed not safe for human injection’?
Nobody deemed it unsafe. It wasn’t feasible from an economic standpoint until the technology to mass produce it cheaply became available. If each dose costs $20 million, you aren’t going to sell too many.
Moderna was founded just over 10 years ago with the singular purpose of building products on the mRNA platform. It’s literally all they’ve done for the past 10 years. President Trump provided them the funding to ramp up production for a vaccine that was easily created (in a weekend) using those 10 years of work as the starting point.
How was mRNA deemed not safe for 20 years? You care to back that statement up? It has been in development 30 years. It’s a synthetic vaccine we eat and use synthetic products everyday. There are many life saving drugs that are synthetic.
