Doubt it, there would have been a lawsuit and Moderna would have won.
This whole debacle was Vinay Prasad’s doing and he wasn’t at this last meeting with Moderna. It’s likely he was not allowed to go. He’s a fucking idiot and keeps fucking up. They had a month to grant Moderna a meeting after rejecting them. They scheduled it within a week. They know they fucked up.
I'm no expert, but my guess is no because they likely have the same chemicals on the surface as any other of your own cells, so there's nothing to target.
Why not a vasectomy? Mine was easy and mostly covered by normal insurance (in the USA).

No. The lipid nanoparticles are designed with the ability to easily enter cells. This would not be possible if they are chemically the same as the cells they are entering.
The reason why people get cancer 15 years or so after a vasectomy is because there is no place for anything to go and it gets absorbed back into your body... and the chance of having cancer cells absorbed increases... or something
Looks like studies are inconclusive on that and even when they show an effect it is a small increase of a low base rate. Also your proposed mechanism doesn't make sense because the increase if it exists is for prostate cancer, not testicular.
But... it has no place to go... so the fluid that is made in the prostate doesn't go anywhere... I could be wrong and my info is probably outdated by years... but that was my understanding...

Whatever it was at least it was a bribe with a possible positive outcome

Oh, no doubt. I'm just curious how much it cost.

You can only sue the federal government if the federal government lets you.

Review doesn't mean approve, though.
They might mean: ok we will "review" it, while reaching the REJECTED stamp

Can they make a mRNA-based vaccine that targets my sperm?

Oh. Maybe freeze some, then snip.
Or just rely on condoms, abortion, etc.
