"Dozens of clinical trials are now underway for new forms of the mRNA vaccine—targeting everything from malaria to Zika, herpes, and cytomegalovirus. Last month, Moderna—which was founded in 2014 to explore the potential of mRNA—announced it had started Phase I clinical trials for two mRNA-based HIV vaccines."
"It’s true that mRNA vaccines would probably have come to market eventually, but they were on what Dieffenbach calls “a leisurely stroll.” Covid “pressure-tested” them—advancing their emergence by years or decades."
"If the logistical and technical hurdles can be overcome, and the technology can be distributed evenly, mRNA has the potential to transform every strand of medicine. “In the next 10 years, you will see unbelievable progress,” she says."
