Nobel Committee has been a pure joke since a long time now. Giving B. Obama a peace prize for being cool was typical.

All you have to do is drone American Citizens these days for your Nobel PEACE prize.

You are a pure joke. Can you show me one message of you that is worth reading?

Well deserved.

This technology has opened a new age in medicine.

On top of saving literally hundreds of millions of lives during CoVID, without having to wait for hens eggs to grow viruses, there are vaccines in the pipeline for influenza, zika and rabies. There are numerous cancer clinical trials out there, with prolonged disease-free survival in some cases.

mRNA is absolutely fucking amazing.

I gave you a funny upvote. This is really fucking funny.

With great power comes great responsibility. Let's see how we actually apply these medical concepts, science has a history of being used against the people covertly for many many decades.

Editing gene expression of an organism as of now is a tedious trrial based process. Some dastardly ugly results will be seen before we acheieve beauty here.

Such as?

Editing gene expression of an organism as of now is a tedious trrial based process.

mRNA doesn't edit gene expression. It causes the cells to make proteins, which is done outside the nucleus of the cell, where the genes are.

Some dastardly ugly results will be seen before we acheieve beauty here.

Prolonged disease-free survival of cancer is already beauty. What dastardly ugly results have we seen.
