The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

To generalize that mRNA vaccines are "bad" for a particular person because they contain mRNA is something a fool would say...

I have not read all the dialog here on this topic, but I don't see anyone literally saying not to get an mRNA vaccine "because it contains mRNA." The advice could be not to get that particular kind of vaccine because of something else about it, e.g., its delivery system/carrier.

All I can offer in this regard is that my wife has a huge, immediate hives reaction to the Moderna jab, and it lasts for months. The pharmacist speculated that it was an allergic reaction to something in that vaccine (NOT the mRNA) and recommended that she get the Novavax one instead.
