Does anyone know the difference between moderna/pfizer vax? They're both mRNA so what's the diff? (searching just brings up differences in outcomes, stats, and all that, nothing technical)

I don't have hard data on this, but I have heard that moderna delivers a higher load of mRNA per dose. The formulations are different as well, I'm sure, but it may be as simple as this difference in dose.

I see, interesting. If they are the same tech with minor variations, it adds to the experimentation factor of all this.
