the problem is it is essentially impossible to verify for yourself if trials etc were conducted in good faith - and so many have been proved to be conducted in bad faith that you really have to assume this is the case generally

even if things were to change and some actually benevolent power were to take control of this, it's hard to see how they could prove good faith

so you're left with traditional medicine, and gut feel really - for the duration

You would know when it were obvious people who took it fared better than those who didn’t. It’s a high bar to clear, but it should be high.

Having worked in that field, fwiw, it is shockingly difficult to attribute causality to any changes you see. Even if done in good faith you usually need really large trial cohorts to know if people are "faring better" because of an intervention.

Plus placebo and nocebo are really real..

I think it would be obvious if people with cancer were getting cured via mRNA (which I doubt would happen). But if it did, people would notice.
