That's one way to describe it.
Another less charitable way to describe it: a novel gene therapy being deployed by organizations with a long history of experimenting on the people they were meant to protect.
Pfizer and J&J got the two biggest fines ever handed out by the US government, and moderna and biontech have never had a drug approved before. The US government's history of performing medical experiments on it's own (and foreign) populations speaks for itself.
It is interesting how you characterize the lack of trust in these organizations as selfishness.
Edit: Apparently I've been posting too fast despite my last post being over an ago, so I can't reply. This post has also been flagged, probably due to the gene therapy comment.
Both Modern and the FDA consider it to be a gene therapy.
"Currently, mRNA is considered a gene therapy product by the FDA."[1]
