“The process while sped up, all the critical steps actually more than critical all the regular steps, were followed,” said Omer.
He adds emergency use doesn’t mean emergency development. In fact, the technology in both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines has been around for ten years. It’s called m-RNA.
“m-RNA is simply a piece of strand of genetic material, versus a whole virus that’s weakened,” said Kagya Amoako, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of New Haven.
Amoako says there is no COVID-19 virus in the vaccine. It’s just a piece of the cell that activates your immune system to make antibodies.

Dive Brief:
The U.S. Department of Energy has confirmed that its computer systems were compromised as part of the devastating SolarWinds hack, though the agency said that so far the malware has not impacted mission essential national security functions.
Fallout from the massive security breach continues, and experts say energy companies are scrambling to assess their networks. It is widely believed Russian hackers associated with that nation s intelligence service are behind the operation, which targeted multiple U.S. government agencies.
Security experts say the hack is unprecedented for its scale and sophistication. The operation was a success for Russia, strategically, and calls into question the security of the United States and our industrial grid, said Matthew Schmidt, an associate professor of national security and political science at the University of New Haven.
