FabSwingers.com forum: Article on mRNA vaccines

There's a really interesting article on the Nature magazine website on building mRNA vaccines (not sure if I'm allowed to post link but it's called "Unlocking the potential of vaccines built on messenger RNA"), how Moderna have been researching and trialling the technology behind it for years and how they are hoping it can be used as a base for vaccines for any type of virus.

Not interested in debating any anti-vaxxers but I would recommend to anyone who is unsure about why/how they have been able to develop a vaccine so quickly. The article was written pre-pandemic so no covid bias either. Plus it explains it in layman's terms; even I understood it so that's saying something

Biontech have also been trying to use mrna to try to target our immune response to cancerous cells too.
