  That’s because most of the groundwork in developing mrna vaccines had already been done for years and years. This wasn’t “how do we invent a vaccine for covid?”, this was “how do we adapt this proven, well-understood vaccine tech so that it works for covid just like it does for the ebola virus that we originally developed it for?”

    There was also a large amount of money thrown at developing the vaccine because of the virus’ significant economic impacts.

      it’s wild because it was a whole bunch of our money but somehow the vaccine developed with all of our money is still privately owned

        Imagine if we had national bodies developing drugs to treat health problems rather than private companies developing drugs to make as much money as possible.

  They’ve been developing it since the first SARS.

  Genuinely impressive how a vaccine made under the conditions and time constraints COVID faced is so effective.

  Come ON! This doesn’t say the vaccine - which one? - is effective but would have low adverse effects.

  Not astonished that you put people against this experimental product in the case of anti-vax despite them being vaccinated for other stuff.

    I’ve been trying to read this comment for a while now.

    Are you okay? Are you having a stroke? Should I call someone?

      It’s not hard. He’s saying that this study makes no claims about effectiveness, but people are so programmed with the catchphrase “safe and effective” that they conflate the two.
