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

Is ADHD now getting the recognition and understanding it deserves, or is the rise in interest a fad pushed by drug companies, online prescribers and attention-seeking influencers?
