   #mRNA vaccine against #malaria tested in animals (mice), shows promise.
   
   I'm glad to see some progress in figuring out how to stop malaria, but I do want them to put more effort into explaining why we inject messenger RNA into patients instead of putting it into a bacterial culture, then harvesting the protein and using that in our vaccines.
   
   If this method would provide similar protection, it would also disarm some of the fears of #anti-vaxxers that Bill Gates is planning to live forever by replacing everyone else's DNA with his own. (I haven't heard that specific fear, but it isn't too far removed from some of the #conspiracy_theories out there.)

      I looked into this a little bit and while I cannot say it will not work, it would be adding many more steps, QA checks, etc and may not be worthwhile.
      
      There is at least one non mRNA (Janssen/J&J) for C-19 listed on FDA's site so there are other options.
