We had no idea that an mRNA vaccine would work and work this well. The approach was marginalized for a long time. No prior example. They tried because pandemic. Why not? (Both Pfizer and Moderna are vector vaccines). Pretty amazing. Can’t wait for the movie.

This is Thai cave rescue stuff, just at the scale of billions! Who knew it would work this well? But the difference is not incentive shaped—something totally agree happens in tech. The mRNA approach wasn’t a vaccine thing. Well, apparently it was but we didn’t know.

this is also a reminder that vaccine research is criminally underresourced since there's so little profit in it.
