This is a technology and a platform that has been really exciting for the field of public health and marks a first in the fight against the deadly virus.
Well, this is the first time that this mRNA flu vaccine has been approved by the FDA.
And it's using that same technology that we saw in the COVID era, where those COVID vaccines, right?
It's gonna be available for everyone over the age of 50.
And in their clinical trial, Moderna found that the vaccine was 27% more effective than that traditional flu shot.
But a couple of months ago, the FDA said they were not even gonna even look at the approval uh for the shot.
Then, you know, recently they reversed course and now
How fast forward to this week where you see this flu shot getting approval?
You have Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.
that has been in stark opposition, honestly, in many of these MRNA vaccine technology platforms.
More risk and benefits for these respiratory viruses.
But this is a technology and a platform that has been really exciting for the field of public health.
When I talked to scientists, they were really looking forward to this.
It can cut down the production time for these vaccines.
But mRNA platforms have also been looked into for potential cancer vaccines.
So there's a real question as to why there's this opposition, because every doctor and scientist I talk to is really in support of these vaccines.
Because like I said, they have been found to be safe and effective.
Right, so typically vaccines work by exposing your body to a small, harmless part of a virus, and then your body will fight it and develop some antibodies.
MRNA works a little bit differently.
