Nothing ruins a night on the town like a bunch of people coughing and dying. I hate that shit.

Hopefully it’s moderna
If their RNA vaccine is successful it changes the whole ballgame on vaccines and their development

I know nothing about that. Please enlighten me.

I voted for them due to their fast jump out of the starting gate, and I figure if they've got the NIH in their corner they're onto something. But I'm also cautious that they've never put a product to market. I worry a little bit that they'll turn out to be a shadow puppet that makes the CEO rich. My finger keeps hovering over the 'sell' button on the small amount of their stock that I have.

I also have stock in Editas, on a whole different topic. Again, I know nothing about what they're doing, but gene editing seems to be a potential game changer. If what they're doing works, then the world will be a different place.

I can't say how I know, but I'm pretty confident it'll be one of the European companies.

I'm guessing the NBA. They're, apparently, moving testing science forward faster than anyone else.

China

This has been their plan from the beginning.

IBIO is worth mentioning twice! Tom will take us to the promised land!

Right. Russia IS European, after all.

I voted moderna because my wifes company is supplying the plastics to them. doing very well this year.

Doesn't seem like there is a strong backing for them. I bought in at 80cents and rode it up to 6.21 when I bailed. It cratered since then though, and continues to trickle down in value. I think last I checked it was around 2.60-ish.

The IBM Watson thing was a cool step for them same with getting added to the Russell 2000 and 3000, but I don't think they are a true player.

It’s pretty technical but basically they aren’t broken down as quickly as a dna vector and are more efficient at eliciting an immune response. Plus they would have huge ramifications in cancer treatment. You can also use a lot less “material” to get antigen recognition iirc

For short

I could send you some more detailed stuff that’s over my head if you wanna read it

Care to elaborate?

Maybe via pm?

If you want to say who will produce the first PUBLICLY AVAILABLE vaccine that is approved in both the US and EU with an efficacy rate of greater than 50%... we have a debate.

Otherwise, it will be: Russia, Oxford, Moderna, in that order. Unless there is some bullshit rushing of Moderna to be out by the election, which is completely possible.

Was having this conversation yesterday. There aren't enough antivaxxers to make a dent. What to worry about is regular people who turn into covid antivaxxers. Not only for the health and safety, but because it affects the economy. I won't necessarily be first in line to get a vaccine, as they should improve over time and I would like to see the safety data first. But, if I had to choose right now, take the first vaccine available or never take one at all, I'm rolling up my sleeve.

Meh, I wouldn't understand the more detailed stuff unless they explain it to me like I'm five. I'll take your word for it that it's good.
