Being opposed to mRNA gene therapy is NOT the same as being anti-vax. Likewise, being opposed to any vaccine which is developed using stem cells or tissue from aborted babies due to deeply held moral convictions doesn't make one anti-vax. A true anti-vaxxer is opposed to vaccine EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS. There are very, very few people in that fringe category. |

As an analogy:
mRNA technology is NOT like sending a saboteur into a factory to change the blue prints / designs / masters records (=genes) of the factory.
Rather it is like dropping a bunch work instructions (RNA snippets) over the factory and have some workers (cells) pick them up and build the things described there-in.
mRNA tech isn't the same as CRISPR.
The worst that could happen is that a work instruction that we inject becomes self-replicating (a virus), but because it can't replicate to begin with it there is no way that it mutates to gain such an ability.
