Maybe in some situations but it's been long used in other areas and getting better. I certainly won't touch this particular vaccine (arguing either way) as it was in fact sped up and spit out, we we have to wait and find out. Not good there.
But mrna has in fact been used since the 90's in other departments, including vaccines. But when not used for a particular virus/infection/ailment, then we are all kind of like guinea pigs since the trials weren't nearly as large and time consuming as it would normally be.
But it has been used in oncology, it's helped get rid of diabetes symptoms... - and like I mentioned already, cancer things, allergy shots & parasite vaccines. So it's not like mrna technology just got started and we're the first. They've been working on it for 30+ years now. But with that said, it's still new, still used very little with success and the majority of it is still in testing phases.
We'll unfortunately have to wait a few decades to see things in the bigger picture - but thus far the success rate looked at, or the negatives looked at, it's been very successful so far. The number of total people vaccinated in the USA is pretty much standard across the board. There are varying reports of amount of people that were killed after getting the vaccine. Using them from the lowest I could find to the highest, it's like .0017% to like .0029%. When you're that person or a family member or loved one, you don't want to hear any of that. But overall looking at the population to what we're seeing thus far, the numbers are beyond expectations.
Nonetheless, I've had both Pfizer shots, and admittedly a tad nervous about anything developing down the line.
