saRNA: Is Self-Amplifying mRNA Dangerous? w/ Sasha Latypova & Dr. Jay Bhattacharya – Ask Dr. Drew

"To date I have seen no evidence that any manufacturer of these magic potions consistently produces what they claim they produce," writes Sasha Latypova, a former pharmaceutical R&D executive with over 25 years of experience, who says panic around "selfreplicating mRNA" is not the real concern. ••「 LINKS & SOURCES」•• "The manufacturers demonstrably are unable to manufacture a single mRNA sequence to specification (e.g. coding for Wuhan “variant”), so how are they going to make a selfreplicating Wuhan variant?"

Sasha Latypova is a former pharmaceutical R&D executive with over 25 years of experience in clinical trials, clinical technologies, and regulatory approvals. She owned and managed several contract research organizations and worked for more than 60 pharma companies worldwide.
