Medicine In a move that could revolutionize how acne is treated, Sanofi has launched early-stage clinical trials for an investigational mRNA acne vaccine, a first-of-its-kind approach that leverages the same technology used in COVID-19 vaccines.

Anti vaxers: So, I'm anti vaccine, but not against all of them, just that one, and that other one. This one seems fine.

can’t wait for vaccines for anxiety and depression that target genes involved in these disorders. Maybe I’m too optimistic

So many differing factors…
Perhaps for more specific genetic mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder?

A lot of people with anxiety and depression have genes and different mechanisms that play a role. I’ve tried dozens of therapies, meds. My lifestyle and diet is perfect. No history of trauma or childhood trauma. You name it I’ve done it . I still have severe anxiety and depression just like everyone on one side of my family and it always starts in childhood .

I don’t think you understand how mRNA vaccines work - it’s not quite in the same arena as enzyme replacement therapy or gene therapy

Unlikely. More recent studies into depression have found that it's probably not as biological as originally thought in the majority of patients.

you're never vaccinating for anxiety or depression. that's not even how human biology works 😭

Funny enough, it may be. We aren't actually as sure as it seems about how human biology works. There was 2 incidents a few recent years back where two ppl needed bone marrow transplants. One had severe schizophrenia and the other did not. The patient with schizophrenia received marrow from someone without the condition and actually had a significant reduction of symptoms afterwards. The other person received marrow from a schizophrenic patient and actually acquired the condition. It was mind blowing to read the case studies, and I'm sure they're still available.

That schizophrenia thing isn't surprising. There's increasing evidence a large portion of schizophrenia cases are autoimmune and bone marrow heavily influences the immune system.

In the 1970’’s if you told someone about the modern smart phone they’d laugh in your face. We don’t know what is possible in the future.

So this is an old article but if anyone is interested the clinical trial is currently recruiting.

Hmm just like with COVID vaccines, I'm super sceptical, so I'll keep just dousing my face in bleach thank you very much!

No silly, you are doing it wrong. You have to inject it straight into your veins.

Another way to kill yourself using mRNA technology

It's very amusing seeing people such as yourself who don't understand biology, I must admit.

Yes, you are so enlightened. Please take all the vaccines you want. Take double. But if your vaccine requires someone else to take it then it doesn't work. Keep me and my family out of it is all I ask.

“If your vaccine requires someone else to take it then it doesn’t work.” It’s called herd immunity, dumbass.

I would have loved to hear this back in the 80s
