I think maybe they believed that mRNA technology was the magic bullet that would lead to a cure for a multitude of maladies from viruses to cancer and everything in between.

Like the introduction of functions in early programming languages, they thought it had the potential to revolutionize the field. mRNA technology was believed to be a similar game changer, malleable, and general enough to enable it to be recruited to do whatever particular tweek was needed to get the body to heal itself.

If thousands of deaths in the short term were necessary to save millions in the future, they rationalised that to be an ethical exchange.

Maybe, but it is unethical to sacrifice unwitting thousands to save millions down the line.

We are dealing with incredibly wealthy sociopaths who have gained control of many governments throughout the world. There are billions of us polluting their planet. They are not about the business of improving our lives. More like culling the herd, I fear. Nothing that's happened since vaccines rolled out has budged me off this apocalyptic scenario. In fact, most things that transpired since then affirm it. God help us.

The mRNA tech probably does have enormous potential. But what early testing had been done was spotty and disappointing. I fully agree that the mRNA products should never have been approved. But that's because they haven't been adequately tested for safety or efficacy. I concur that what is going on now is a monstrosity of greed and power-seeking at the least, and could have darker motives.

But none of the above precludes, in the least, the possibility that mRNA might prove a great technology if/when they overcome its obvious bugs.
