Original Note:
The author falsely equates mRNA with modRNA. This is not breaking news either. A nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA) is a synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) in which some nucleosides are replaced by other naturally modified nucleosides or synthetic nucleoside analogues. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleoside-modified_messenger_RNA#:~:text=A%20nucleoside%2Dmodified%20messenger%20RNA,desired%20protein%20in%20certain%20cells.
