- kragen 5y agoYou seem to be saying that it's unlikely that we'll achieve all of this. And that's true: it's a lot of social change, and social change is very difficult. But every incremental step in the direction of these goals will improve the situation for high-risk basic research like Karikó's. Except for ponies. Those are pleasant but they're too resource-intensive to be much of a force for advancing basic research.
- BlueTemplar 5y agoThe pony problem is a tough one. Though maybe we can find a self-reinforcing loop by funding research into breeding prettier and fluffier poneys ?
- pvaldes 5y agoSo, we need vaccines to not die, and she wants a pony to comb its hair?. Seems like a really easy decision to make... "I will save you five million dollars, if you give me three hundred dollars?". Just take my money and the damned horse is a gift.
