No, anything based on their mRNA tech became toxic after multiple doses. That's why they refocused on vaccines even though vaccines were historically considered much less profitable than other kinds of drugs: they're less profitable exactly because you get one once, and then you're done for life. Thus by making vaccines instead of the other kinds of drugs they originally planned to make, they could work around their unfixable toxicity issues.
Except now, endless dosings of that very same tech are being mandated. Note: no announcements at any point about how they found some fix for this problem.
I've updated my original post with a second story from the same site that makes this problem clearer (spells it out in different words):
"But that hasn’t worked out so far. Moderna’s attempts to make actual drugs from mRNA have been repeatedly hamstrung, proving either too weak or too dangerous to test in clinical trials, former employees and partners said. The company has instead prioritized vaccines, which can be dosed just once and thus avoid the safety problems that have plagued more ambitious projects."
- Auracle 5y agoI’m completely ignorant on the topic, but there’s still a pretty big difference between taking something every 6 months as opposed to every day or week. If you take double the max dose of Tylenol every 6 months you’re probably not doing all that much liver damage. If you do it every day, not so much.
- native_samples 5y agoYeah but if the only problem was Tylenol style toxicity with unneeded levels of overdose they'd never have abandoned the tech for drugs. They'd have just determined that the safe dose was larger than the needed dose and slapped a warning label on it. The articles are quite clear that they didn't want to make this decision but felt forced into it, because many years of investor funding had failed to bring a single drug to market. Vaccines were the Hail Mary move to save the company from extinction, even if it made investors unhappy. Then COVID came along and suddenly, vaccines were big business and nobody worried about toxicity anymore.
- jjeaff 5y agoFew experts believe we are planning for eternal boosters. In fact, many vaccines are 3 series before lasting immunity is achieved. There are some data showing a big increase in lasting immunity after the 3rd shot and time will tell if it remains high.
- native_samples 5y agoA few experts believe no more boosters? So, eternal boosters are right around the corner then. It amazes me anyone is still willing to use the E word on anything COVID related. It's just embarrassing at this point. The "experts" assured us just months ago the vaccines were 95%+ effective. The fact that effectiveness declined so fast surprised them and now they're trying to rewrite history to claim it was known all along. There appear to be no experts in COVIDS, viruses or vaccines. They're all in denial that their self-proclaimed experts beliefs have been invalidated dozens of times over since the start of this.
