Surely the Trump administration is not tone deaf concerning the new cancer treatments with mRNA vaccines. They’ve got to come up with a new term for vaccines! I’m a strong Trump supporter but I am anti-vaccine especially the mRNA! Let’s fix this!
mRNA is NOT (and will likely never be) a reliable platform for vaccine development. Another proper term to use with mRNA drugs is they are BIOLOGICS: "mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, such as those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, can be considered both vaccines and biologics. The distinction primarily depends on the context and the regulatory framework in which they are discussed:
Vaccines: In common parlance and public health discussions, mRNA vaccines are referred to as vaccines because they are designed to elicit an immune response that protects against infectious diseases. They work by using a small piece of the virus's mRNA to instruct cells in the body to produce a viral protein, prompting an immune response.
Biologics: From a regulatory standpoint, under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and similar agencies in other countries, vaccines are also classified as biologics. Biologics are products derived from living organisms that are used to diagnose, prevent, treat, or cure diseases and medical conditions. This category includes vaccines, blood products, and other products derived from living organisms.
Therefore, mRNA vaccines fit within both definitions: they are vaccines due to their purpose and biological mechanism, and they are biologics due to their origin and the way they are regulated and produced."
