I note we didn't get any SARS-CoV-2 vaccines from startups.
Well, kind of except Radvac:

But if you had the choice between radvac and Pfizer or AZ, which would you take?
- duxup 6y agoYeah I'm not sure I'm in the mood to have my vaccine ... disrupted.
- astrange 6y agoModerna and BioNTech were both startuppy, neither of them had any products and they were working on cancer moonshots. They happened to have already gone public, but it seems like that's because they ran out of runway.
- ipsum2 6y agoModerna and BioNTech are startup-ish. Both ~10 years old, with <1000 employees. They're not established pharmaceutical companies like Bayer (founded 100+ years ago, 100,000+ employees)
- drran 6y agoI see few vaccines from startups. They have no money to conduct a clinical trial to prove safety.
