Indeed! I believe the narrative was that Pfizer/BioNTech tried out 3 or maybe 4 mechanisms in clinical trials and ultimately went with the one patented by Moderna.

I assume they utilized different adjuvants and strengths.

Yeah, interestingly Moderna is suing phizer/BioNTech over the delivery mechanism. Allegedly they are very similar/same from what the news article claimed.

I’m sorry you went through that. The vaccine kicked my butt, but I’m glad I got it. Covid kicked my butt even after the vaccine. It could have been worse. My wife and kids we’re vaccinated and covid was like a weak cold for them. No issues.

I’m going to have to read the article in nature, but this seems very interesting.

I worked for one of the companies working on the mRNA vaccine at the height of COVID. I was and am very pro vaccine but I do know people that had adverse redactions.

I do hope that alternative treatments will become more readily available to those that are not good candidates for vaccination.
