This vaccine isn't mRNA though.
- ufo 6y agoI kind of is, if you squint. The payload of the adenovirus vector is DNA.
- brutus1213 6y agoThx for the pointer. Yes, I was talking about mrna in the context of the Moderna and Pfizer+B vaccine. This was a good read on why we shouldn't fear reverse transcription. What I still don't get is how free floating mrna molecules in the bloodstream go through the same protein formation process as mrna inside cells. Will continue to search.
