Complete nonsense... Changing the attenuated virus (to match what strain is anticipated) is not "starting over", requiring new testing for safety and efficacy...

And what else could he be talking about with the covid virus? The MRNA component IS the delivery system. And THAT was not adequately tested (IMO)...

Do you suppose he would be happy to accept the J&J version that uses a delivery system that has been around for quite an awhile? You may remember pointing out that THAT vaccine had a risk of GBS four times higher. (though still minuscule)
Nice red herring. But you actually proved his point since the J&J vax was removed from the market... Maybe if they had done some more testing...
