MRNA therapies as vaccines have been used in humans for 2 years. For terminally ill people they were used for purposes other than vaccination for ~5 years. Prior to that they caused a very high occurrence of (often deadly) problems in non-human mammals for their ~30 years of study. This is why they were only used on the terminally ill prior to COVID.

"Vaccines" which have been around for a long time and MRNA therapy for vaccination are two very different things. It's like saying "Fear of Sugar of Lead isn't rational because sugars have been around for all of human history."
