It always seemed that an mRNA treatment was going to be the way forward for treating HD, speaking as an HD widower.

And here my government is actively working to suppress mRNA therapies because of fucking politics. Fuck them.

This isn't an mRNA treatment. The m in mRNA stands for "messenger", not micro. mRNA covid vaccines don't mess with the genome anything like this treatment does, and indeed, this treatment is much more dangerous than any vaccine would be.
