I'm excited at the potential of this mRNA biotech, but not like this. It's rushed, it's likely to be mandated, the manufacturers are getting immunity to liability, and all for a bug that has a zero-point-zero percent chance to kill almost anyone.
And then add in some of the side effects from previous mRNA projects, like drastically enhanced susceptibility to the bug being inoculated against, and weird autoimmune effects? Yeah, no thanks. Save this for the tiny population actually threatened by COVID-19.
Yeah, I assume that autoimmune reactions were at the top of the list of things they'd be watching for. It's great if we figure out how to beat viruses at their own game, but we should also be mindful that viruses tend to destroy things as they go.

mRNA for tumors, right to try -- DO IT! Why not
mRNA for harmless virus? -- Nope... Nope, nope, nope...
I would be surprised not to see them It's just so new that we have no clue (broad sci. community, industry - maybe...)
