Original Note:
The FDA do not regard mRNA vaccines as Gene Therapies - they do not appear on the FDA list of approved Gene Therapies. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/cellular-gene-therapy-products/approved-cellular-and-gene-therapy-products. The mRNA vaccines could be described as a "gene therapy product". https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/antivaxxers-covid-19-vaccines-and-hacking-the-software-of-life/ https://genomicseducation.hee.nhs.uk/blog/why-mrna-vaccines-arent-gene-therapies/ https://sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0169409X20302799?via%3Dihub https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid-mrna-gene/fact-check-mrna-vaccines-are-distinct-from-gene-therapy-which-alters-recipients-genes-idUSL1N2PH16N/
