What are the potential downsides to using mRNA vaccines, such as the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines, for COVID-19? In this video we are going to dive into this question and cover 5 different possible downsides to this newly implemented vaccine technology.

We will discuss a number of questions including:
1) Increased reactogenecitiy. What is it and why are we seeing it with mRNA vaccines?
2) The uncertainty about long term immunity. What data do we have to date on this?
3) Cost compared to other COVID-19 and non-COVID vaccines
4) Possibility of long term adverse effects
5) Lack of subgroup data. What about people with rarer diseases, such as some autoimmune diseases?

Check out the video for a discussion on all of these things and more!
