Nobel Prize for Medicine goes to researchers behind mRNA vaccines

[Professor Emeritus]

tbh this seems like a pretty obvious one. Hard to imagine as big a technological breakthrough that had so large an immediate impact.

Nobel Prize goes to scientists behind mRNA Covid vaccines

Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman developed the technology which led to Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccines.

Congratulations and well deserved

Awesome

Now release the patient for the global south

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Awesome

Now release the patent for the global south

These scientists actually have nothing to do with the Moderna/Pfizer. They developed the mRNA breakthroughs together at the University of Pennsylvania. As usual, the most difficult breakthroughs come by the researchers, then corporations run with it and take all the profits.

i know. I brought it up to say the US and western governments are still allowing Pfizer and Modern to hoard the formula and fukking over us the recipients in the global north by pricing it so high, and hte global south by not making it available unless they pay more than us in the North. Its disgusting.

Awesome

Now release the patents for everyone and make it so that all vaccines developed immediately release the patents for everyone

Well deserved and a nice boost for their field given all the bullshyt they’ve had to deal over the last three years from idiots who couldn’t pass a 10th grade biology test.
