Why it would be utter madness to stop funding mRNA vaccine technology
It's not a just a revolutionary and safe vaccine technology – mRNA could help make the best and most expensive drugs in the world affordable for everyone
Even if mRNA vaccine technology was limited to making vaccines, it would be crazy for the US not to fund further research into it
But the technology is not limited to vaccines, as vital as they are. There's so much more that could be done with it
