Many steps remain before Afrigen’s mRNA vaccine candidate can be distributed to people in Africa and beyond, and it definitely won’t help to curb the pandemic this year. But the WHO hopes that the process of creating it will lay the foundation for a more globally distributed mRNA-vaccine industry. Patrick Arbuthnot, director of gene-therapy research at the University of the Witwatersrand, says, “We were not intimidated, because mRNA synthesis is a fairly generic procedure.” Despite delays in the shipment of raw materials, the team completed this process in ten weeks and sent vials of mRNA to Afrigen in early December.
Don't do that, stay healthy instead!
Yet they’re surviving just fine without a vaccine.
Unglaublich ! Präsident Biden an der Leine von Impfstoffhersteller Pfizer. Die Hersteller halten das Stöckchen, Biden springt und alle anderen springen auch.
Why don't they just use the patent free vaccine from the PeterHotez lab?
Hope they reverse engineer Moderna's vaccine and then vaccinate all of Africa and the rest of the world without moderna_tx getting a damn dime from it.
We need good chemical printers and some good hackers to get a hold of the formula for these things.
Good
