A lot of this stuff is pretty bespoke. I’m sure it’s not hard to get your hands on (especially now) but by the time it’s ready, nobody will need it.

- skybrian 6y agoIt seems like there are going to be a lot of mRNA vaccines?
- selectodude 6y agoI certainly hope so. I imagine if Moderna wanted more machines, they're en route. They also won't be ready until 2022.
- Robotbeat 6y agounfortunately we ARE going to need it because at current rates, billions of people won't be vaccinated until 2022 or 2023: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/01/22/959627186/until-everyone-is-safe-no-one-is-safe-africa-awaits-the-covid-19-vaccine https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/0... That's billions of people who will be incubating more mutated variants of COVID-19. And secondly, we'll need that equipment for COVID-19 variant booster shots. (And will come in handy for vaccinating with a universal flu vaccine, even HIV, etc.)
