As someone who is not in this field at all, what is the difference between the claims you make about new gene therapies and mRNA vaccines? For example, I hear the claim that mRNA vaccines have been studied "for decades" (in vitro .......... .. . .. . . ... do people really want me to think scientists are honest here?) but the pandemic provided the opportunity for people to accelerate the drug development manyfold.

How would what you propose look different than how the mRNA tech was foisted upon folks versus new gene therapies? We have decades of data you say, but how many RCTs? Would it take some kind of crisis-opportunity and the right profiteers at the right time to get these done? Would you be okay with people skipping out on basic science because you'd trust the evidence for these therapies and they MIGHT be better than e.g., lithium?
