Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines managed to reverse the worst health crisis of the 21st century: COVID-19. In recent years, billions of doses have been administered worldwide to prevent this disease. Despite the efforts of the scientific community to inform about the safety and efficacy of the technology used to develop them in record time, an anti-vaccine movement has emerged that has constantly questioned them with misinformation and fake news. Now, researchers from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver (Canada) have conducted an exhaustive review of the scientific evidence on these vaccines and have concluded that they are "safe and highly effective" in preventing infectious diseases. This review, published in the prestigious scientific journal The Lancet , shows that this type of vaccine has the potential to develop new treatments against the flu, certain types of cancer, and some autoimmune disorders, among others.
