Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci: German 'dream team' behind vaccine

Next yaer’s ⁦@NobelPrize⁩ for Medicine?!! theguardian.com/world/2020/nov…
Honestly @NobelPrize, please consider their achievement seriously for an award. Two aspects represent truly giant leaps for vaccine & drug development: 1) use of nucleic acids as a source of immunogen production; 2) safe parallelisation of aspects of development & clinical trials
1) is important because nucleic acid chemistry and enzymatic expansion are much easier and more predictable & reproducible than for conventional proteins, be they recombinant or inactivated virus. This means that once conversion of production lines is achieved, producing billions

After Trump: first shots fired in battle for Republican party's future

Me thinks @GOP’s Step 1 must be the equivalent of l’Epuration in France or the Denazification process in Germany=exclusion of those who supported and enabled Trump. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/n…
“Trumpism will remain because he is such a wildly popular figure among their base. But, it’s always been pragmatic for many Republicans,” said Jason Stanley, professor of philosophy at Yale University & author of the bestseller How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them.
“There’s some portion of the Republican party supporting him mainly because he’s Trump, and he’s owning the libs and saying racist things. And then another group is supporting him because he’s pushing through the hardest-right policies.

How can Biden heal America when Trump doesn’t want it healed? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The media (@Twitter, @Facebook & even @FoxNews) could help. They have begun to call out Trump’s lies in real time and cut off his press conferences, practices that should have started years ago. Let’s hope they continue to tag his lies and otherwise ignore him...
But the responsibility for healing America falls to all of us.

Across the world, figures reveal horrific toll of care home deaths

theguardian.com/world/2020/may…
“We failed to protect our elderly. That’s really serious, and a failure for society as a whole,” health minister Lena Hallengren told Swedish Television.
“Belgian society has decided that the lives of these confined elderly counted much less than those of the so-called ‘actives’,” social scientist Geoffrey Pleyers wrote in Le Soir last month.

@wellcometrust @JonathanHeeney @JeremyFarrar @RidgeOnSunday @SophyRidgeSky Absolutely spot on and crystal clear as always, and in under 1 min, Jeremy! 😎🤩😍
@wellcometrust @JonathanHeeney @JeremyFarrar @RidgeOnSunday @SophyRidgeSky Yey, while I agree that vaccine discovery, development, production and distribution have indeed progressed considerably in the last decade, I think it is fair to say there is still no such thing as rational vaccine design. It seems you agree since you explained that even for...
@wellcometrust @JonathanHeeney @JeremyFarrar @RidgeOnSunday @SophyRidgeSky a relatively simple, compact and not quickly antigenically changing virus such as COV19, we can not be sure to obtain a protective antigenic preparation in the near future. Even now, when we so desperately need it and litterally every lab with any expertise to this area has...
