Manufacturing mRNA Vaccines Is Surprisingly Straightforward
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y agoManufacturing mRNA Vaccines is Surprisingly Straightforward. Compared to conventional vaccine production, mRNA factories are: * 99 - 99.9% smaller * 95 - 99.7% cheaper * 1,000% faster Cory Doctorow
- _Microft 6y agoAttributing that to Cory Doctorow seems strange. He also only extracted that out of the linked paper at https://aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/amp2.10060 https://aiche.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/amp2....
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y agoThe article linked above is by Mr Doctorow, as is the text loosely quoted
- gus_massa 6y agoOn the other hand: * Derek Lowe thinks it's difficult to produce mRNA vaccines https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/02/02/myths-of-vaccine-manufacturing https://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2021/02/02/my... [He worked in the pharmaceutical industry and his Chemical articles are pretty solid.] * The main discussion is about the Oxford/Astrazeneca that is not a mRNA vaccine. I'd take all the other conclusions of the article with a grain of salt.
- SideburnsOfDoom 6y agoThe article seems to be more about the longer term way forward, i.e. what _can_ be done with mRNA vaccines.
