Props to PeterB for drawing my attention back to this thread.
I don't recall where I found the info suggesting that Mosquirix was an RNA vaccine. I was wrong.
It's a recombinant vaccine.
A recombinant vaccine is engineered from two or more sources. There are at least 3 genetic contributors to the vaccine. It's not an RNA/DNA vaccine, but DNA/RNA vaccine techniques are used to produce it where they trick yeast cells into making the proteins that they want and I suspect that's where the confusion arose from.
I was also swayed by a number of passionate articles against the WHO's using this vaccine on impoverished kids before it had been tested under proper clinical trials.
The principal stands that rushing untested vaccines to the public can be deadly.
The principle that rushing RNA vaccines to market without proper clinical trials can be deadly is as yet untested.
