Moderna Receives FDA Fast Track Designation for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine (mRNA-1345)
Moderna ^ | 8-3-21 | Moderna

Posted on 08/23/2021 5:19:12 AM PDT by Meah

Moderna, Inc., (Nasdaq: MRNA) a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation for mRNA-1345, its investigational single-dose mRNA vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults older than 60 years of age.

“We are pursuing an mRNA RSV vaccine to protect the most vulnerable populations – young children and older adults,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “We are studying mRNA-1345 in these populations in an ongoing clinical trial and we look forward to sharing data when available. The Fast Track designation for older adults underscores the urgent need for a vaccine against RSV. With our investments in science and manufacturing, we have taken eleven infectious disease vaccines into human clinical trials. We have accelerated research and development of our infectious disease therapeutic area and we will continue to advance our mRNA vaccines into new areas of high unmet need.”

Respiratory syncytial virus is a common respiratory virus that generally causes cold-like symptoms. In the United States and areas with similar climates, RSV infections occur primarily during fall, winter, and spring. Most people recover in a week or two, but RSV can be serious, especially for infants and older adults. RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children younger than one year of age in the United States and can result in pneumonia and respiratory distress in older adults. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in the United States, RSV leads each year, on average, to approximately 58,000 hospitalizations among children younger than five years old, 177,000 hospitalizations among adults 65 years and older and 14,000 deaths among adults 65 years and older. There is no approved vaccine available today for RSV....

FWIW...

What is the mortality and morbidity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) pneumonia?

Wait, so we are going to “fast track” every vaccine now? Awesome, well there is that slippery slope….do you see it now?

“ So is this going to be mandatory also?”
**********************************************
This isn’t the birth of a jihad against this vaccine, is it? But seriously, is the pneumonia vaccine mandatory? Is the shingles vaccine mandatory?

Many of us seem to have become mentally unbalanced.

Yep, they have discovered the power of the official lie. They will simply pretend there isn’t downside or consequences and half the population will simply accept whatever official word is given.

Anyone who disagrees gets censored.

Is modern medicine a net positive or a net negative for your health these days? I think we’ve crossed over into the red.

Any information about the vaccines I take as seriously as information about McDonalds coming up with a new sandwich. I’ve not visited a McDonalds in over two decades (except to get a cup of coffee once in a moment of desperation).

My whole attitude about “big” medicine in the US changed decades ago when the Chiropractors won their lawsuit against the AMA. I’ve got their number.

In April 2020, with the Moderna share price rising on news of imminent phase 2 human trials for its potential COVID-19 vaccine, Bancel's stake of about 9% became worth over $1 billion.

Went to Univ of Minnesota and Harvard business school but was born in France.

For now. Soon the consequences for disagreement will be far greater. Already, many people’s employment is threatened, and in places like NYC, you are relegated to second-class citizen status if you refuse the jab.

Although I support the idea and Tech of mRNA targeting specific maladies, this is probably a cover.
The weirdo respiratory problem, if widespread, deserves attention. But, is it so specific that a virus mutation of +10% means another vax? This could be whack a mole.
As to the cover, I suspect the timing is going to result in extensive MSM coverage so as to gloss over the obvious failings and lies about WuhanFlu: “See, mRNA is GREAT!”
