What is something they've reliably addressed now? For all the praise heaped on them, they didn't really get us out of covid for more than a few months, and I haven't seen any other breakthroughs. It seems more like something that sounded promising and failed. Is there something that we're on the cusp of that will change that?
- rolph 4y agothe speed at which the vaccine was produced was not just administrative flexing, but was enabled by the nature of the technique. old school would have taken 6 months minimum to grow a vaccine and large scale bioprocess plantization would have been needed. the covid virus changes so fast that old school bioprocess would have left us effectively without vaccine.
- standyro 4y agoIt wasn’t a failure. The first time I got COVID I was sick for three long arduous weeks. A few years later, the second time I got COVID ~ after having rounds of the mRNA vaccines, I was only sick for a week or so. No fever, no loss of taste, with extremely mild symptoms. That was a pretty marked anecdotal improvement for my life. Pretty sure I’m not alone with that either.
