Worth noting that even if it's good for literally only infectious disease vaccines, we're still taking about an enormous breakthrough with the potential to save hundreds of millions of lives. Imagine vaccines for malaria, HIV, Zika, and many others.

- vibrio 5y agoWhile mRNA vaccines were great in the COVID situation, they have been in development over the last decade and I'm not sure an HIV vaccine will be as simple as putting HIV envelope protein into this technology. I'm not aware of attributes to the mRNA technologies that will dramatically simplify the development challenges. I believe the more substantial step for is that we (Pharma, Investors, Governments)now realize infectious diseases are a problem for people beyond the developing world. Will that commitment hold?
