MRNA vaccines now face attacks from some in the GOP

MRNA vaccines now face attacks from some in the GOP MRNA technology is facing growing doubts among Republicans .

MRNA is a molecule that carries genetic material and trains the body's immune system to fight viruses, cancer cells and other conditions.

Some congressional Republicans are pressing regulators to revoke federal approval for mRNA-based COVID shots.

The FDA says the COVID vaccines are safe, with fewer than one in 200,000 vaccinated individuals experiencing a severe allergic reaction or heart problems.

Opponents say there is a dearth of long-term safety data, and they say covid vaccines by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were hastily approved without proper vetting.

"The allegations are beyond reason," says Anne Schuchat , who worked on the vaccines.

Groups opposed to mRNA shots are pointing to a recent study to urge more caution.

Yale University researchers reported in February that they found spike protein still circulating in a subset of individuals with a debilitating, post-vaccination condition.

"My fear as a scientist is that it's been tainted in the public," a scientist says.
