mRNA vaccines are safe, have been in development for decades, & have far broader applications than older vaccine technologies. New vaccine technologies evolve when scientists have tools & knowledge to make something more elegant or complex that wasn’t possible before. 5/

It’s the reason there are more vaccines today than in the 1960s. Scientific progress. If we froze vaccine science in the 18th century, we’d still be variolating kids with live smallpox. If we froze it in the 1950s, we’d shrug our shoulders at febrile seizures after DTP. 6/

If we freeze it now, we abandon future breakthroughs: cancer vaccines, universal flu shots, mRNA science able to combat the next pandemic in weeks versus years. RFK Jr & those that enable him are a threat to global health. Read more: news.immunologic.org/p/old-vaccin... 🧵

I feel like I need to get serious about getting my seer certificate for Phrenology, with my side gig in locally sourced otganic leeches, and hand-forged fleems.

The fact that we can vaccinate for *cancer* is wild.
