mRNA vaccines AREN’T gene therapy because mRNA isn’t a gene—it’s a transcript.

State legislatures are trying to ban life-saving medicines because of falsehoods.

Not just mRNA: also actual gene therapies AND biologic medicines.

mRNA vaccines aren't gene therapy, but both are revolutionary scientific innovations
Scientific innovation is under attack by politicians who don't understand it, and it will cost us life-saving medical treatments

Transgenic means that genes from 1 organism have been put into another. We make transgenic mice to understand how genes influence biological processes. We make transgenic plants to make them more nutrient rich. We make transgenic bacteria so they make medicine for us. It's wide-ranging & v. useful.

Measles is caused by a virus.

There are no antivirals for illness.

Treatment is symptom management & supportive care.

Treatment is NOT:
• antibiotics (it’s a virus)
• unproven wellness products
• cod liver oil, “nutrition hacks,” or supplements.

We can prevent measles:
with the MMR vaccine.
