Yeah, true the mRNA SARS-COV vaccines aren't all that effective after many months however, it could work better for things that don't mutate as much as Coronaviruses. It could still be magic. We just don't know yet it's all relatively new tech medically speaking and this is the current vaccines using the tech are the first ever widespread usage of the tech. We'll see how it goes long-term No one really knows how well or not it's going to go.

Yes it's way too early to draw conclusions. Think currently mRNA vaccines still stand strong compared to what else is on the market. Also one of the big promises of the mRNA technology is increased development speed so it might especially be helpful for things which mutate fast.
Can it pose a risk of making other mutations? and adding too much variation that ecosystems are not ready to defend against? All the arguments of the GMO, repeated (although it seems the GMO argument is settled).
The GMO argument is settled ? This surprise me. AFAIK, it is settled in Europe, but not in America where it is still authorized. Maybe I am wrong, I am not american.
