Just 10 months after the initial genome sequencing of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus, two mRNA vaccines were demonstrated to provide 95% efficacy against symptomatic infections via randomized, placebo-controlled trials of more than 74,000 participants (1). That unprecedented success was, in part, fueled by the $10 billion governmental investment in Operation Warp Speed (OWS) in March 2020 to accelerate the development, manufacturing, and distribution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. We urgently need such an accelerated initiative now for nasal vaccines.

Her theory is that the elites in general wish to minimize COVID for the sake of the economy, so Twitter labels long term Covid research as antivax misinformation...

I'm not entirely convinced because Forbes would be minimizing too, I guess, since it is the epitome of pro-elites propaganda...
Someone in Twitter management is probably libertarian and not realizing that minimization of COVID is bad for long term economy...
