The FDA recently authorized two mRNA vaccines for the prevention of Covid-19. Clearance of this hurdle represents the most recent in a series of advances in the realm of viral vaccines, each building on the last and each with a compelling record of disease prevention.
@edwardcholmes @stgoldst@MackayIM @XenophonBoone Interesting that in the pangolin paper https://t.co/hAQGlmPQqE [data posted on Virological] they state "16 [of 21] died after extensive rescue efforts. Most of the dead pangolins had a swollen lung which contained a frothy liquid". They presumably picked up the virus in China?
