"The coronavirus mRNA vaccines are a completely new technology"

There have been mRNA vaccines in human clinical trials for around 10 years and they have been studied for around 30 years. There are countless examples of other non-controversial medicines developed and studied for far shorter lengths of time.

What is one mRNA vaccine that has been approved by the FDA?

Well, the Moderna and Pfizer ones for emergency use, and now that the data is in, they're looking for full and complete approval around Labor Day.

I trust you will stop just-asking-questions at that time?

And no approval. In other words, this is a dangerous class of drug that has failed to obtain a single human-use approval in 30 years. Thanks for the info!
