You’re comparing traditional vaccines to mRNA vaccines here. An mRNA “vaccine” is closer to a biologic than to a traditional vaccine. We’re told they’re not “gene therapy”, instead the Moderna CEO has called them “information therapy”.

Anyway, I’m rambling. In a nutshell, they shouldn’t be thought of as the same technology because well, they’re not.

If you read up on the standard CDC vaccine schedule, you will discover many different vaccines with many different technologies. There is no such thing as a “standard” vaccine.

IPV , OPV, the DTaP vaccines, the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, and measles are all different technologies. They’re all biologics, though.
