They are trying to make mRNA vaccines for norovirus now
After making and pushing RSV vaccines for healthy adults, they keep getting more and more deranged.

Norovirus is surging across the U.S., with case numbers higher now than they've been at the same time in more than a decade, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
I wonder why.
But when in doubt, double down:
There is no antiviral treatment for the miserable but thankfully short-lived illness, and no vaccine—yet. But scientists at Moderna are in the late stages of testing what could be the first such shot, using mRNA technology against the virus.
...
The nearly 50 different versions of the virus mean that “each genotype requires a different immune response to provide protection,” says Dr. Doran Fink, therapeutic head of gastrointestinal pathogens and bacterial vaccines at Moderna. So any vaccine would have to be an educated guess as to which strains are likely to circulate in a given year—similar to the strategy behind updating the flu vaccine each season.
This is obviously how you increase public trust: next up is a vaccine for paper cuts, which will only work for 20% of paper cuts based on an educated guess. This will surely increase, and not decrease, public trust. /s
