Multiple inaccuracies in this article. mRNA based vaccines can be stored at fridge temperatures, they just didn’t get authorisation until recently.
Also, it talks about $400M for Moderna of government funding last year, when the vaccine was done (but trials not finished), but ignores >$1B of private money that went into 10 years of researching it.
It also tries to paint patents as the culprit for sone of the issues with vaccine production. But Moderna released their covid patents for free, and AZ licenses it easily - so it’s really not an issue of patents.
