  • These mRNA vaccine technologies were all originally designed as cancer drugs 20+ years ago. I had been frustrated that they weren't being adapted to traditional vaccines for a long time until COVID. The issue isn't that we haven't tried this, it's that cancer is really really really hard to deal with.

    I haven't kept up with this stuff much but I'm definitely hoping that science as a whole isn't rehashing old ideas that didn't work and slapping the "Don't worry, AI will fix it this time" sticker on it.
