TL;DR Summary

UK scientists suggest that the mRNA technology used in Covid vaccines could be fine-tuned for greater accuracy. The researchers found that about one in three people may experience a harmless "slip" error when the body reads the genetic code in the vaccine. While existing mRNA vaccines are effective and safe, future ones could be optimized to fight more diseases, including cancer. By making a simple tweak to the code, these errors could be eradicated without affecting the desired protection against dangerous diseases. The study highlights the importance of understanding and updating mRNA technology for future safety and efficacy.
