Now that the science is well recognized for mRNA, do you think we’re going to see some kind of RNA vaccine revolution?

We already are. There are about 250 clinical trials going on right now using RNA therapeutics and vaccines. Five years ago, there might have been one. So there’s an enormous number. They cover every imaginable infectious disease from genital herpes to influenza to hemorrhagic fever vaccines, to HIV and many others. … All of this came from COVID.

You should still get the COVID-19 vaccine. The Nobel Prize winner who helped discover it explains why.

RNA is the producer of proteins. Proteins are vital to build and repair body tissue and fight viral and bacterial infections. When you use an RNA vaccine, you only need the sequence. The RNA makes a copy of the individual protein.

Beyond the COVID spike protein, the technology has huge vaccine and therapeutic applications potentially for genital herpes, influenza, HIV, and so many different diseases.
