Moderna’s “vaccine vs. therapy”: Is it an evolving public health strategy or a marketing conundrum?
Moderna has recently been referring to their mRNA shots as “therapies” rather than “vaccines”. This shift in terminology has sparked debate among healthcare professionals, scientist and the public. What are your thoughts on this move? Is it a strategic shift to address public perception, or a way to market new indicators such as the latest mRNA shots specifically for treatment rather than prevention? Will this change the way we view future treatments?

I don’t buy it. A vaccine and a therapy are very different things. This feels more like a marketing ploy to me. I’ve read some of the latest studies, and I’m sure they are hoping to exploit the lack of understanding. We need to continue to push for clear communication around these vaccines.
I think this is a smart move by Moderna. By framing it as a therapy, they might be trying to address the concerns of those who are hesitant to get a “vaccine.” It's a clever way to reach a broader audience and emphasize their beneficial use.
I’m just waiting for the day the FDA approves mRNA injections for anything and everything. Then we will have a real problem. I worry that they might be misleading people by using the word therapy. That's all I read from the latest studies.
I think it’s important to note that Moderna is not the only company doing this. I've seen Big Pharma do this for years. I worry that this might be a slippery slope into legal battles. What do the lawyers think about this.
Let’s be real, this is just a way for them to sell more shots. If people think it’s a therapy, they might be more open to getting multiple doses. I work in a pharmacy, and what are people’s thoughts?
As someone who works in public health, I think this could be confusing for the general public. We need to make sure people understand the difference and aren’t misleading in any way. But I don’t have the resources to understand the business side of things. What do all of you think?
