I agree with you generally, but people aren't exactly taking the non-mRNA alternative instead. (Some are, bit not at scale).

- AndrewBissell 5y agoThe non-mRNA alternatives are also pretty experimental, still take the new approach of having your own cells manufacture the protein for your immune system to train against, and have been subjected to numerous safety pauses. I'm staunchly opposed to taking either kind of vaccine but if I had a gun to my head (and hey, given the rate things are going maybe I soon will!) I would probably pick mRNA, and specifically Pfizer since its dose is less than half of Moderna's. Why don't we have an inactivated virus or subunit (i.e. Novavax) vaccine as an option?
- psychometry 5y agoWe don't need to make special vaccines for scientific illiterates like you.
- tadfisher 5y agoNeither are experimental.
- AndrewBissell 5y agoNo, they are. It's been only 17 months at most since they were injected into any significant sample size of human beings.
