MF Doom, whose family announced his Halloween death only today????
Freaky deaky. And if they'd waited another day or two, they might have cost someone somewhere a death pool triumph.
That sucks.

The mRNA never gets inside the cell nucleus, so there is no risk of it being incorporated into the host DNA (even if it could get into the nucleus it couldn’t incorporate without a whole lot of help — would be getting way into the weeds to explain)
Don't sleep on the theoretical potential for a retrovirus coinfection.

I think as a general proposition in biopharma, especially cutting edge biopharma, manufacturing is closely tied to development. Meaning a party uninvolved in development can't just take a "recipe" from another party and start whipping it up. There's a lot of know-how involved.
DPA could force transfer of that know-how, along with anything/everything else, but I'm not sure that actually represents any really increased efficiency.
And, as far as I can tell, we've already made more vaccine than we can currently inject.
Taking the "recipe" under DPA from a company like Pfizer that went full risk on is a terrible precedent to set. Moderna on the other hand was funded by taxpayers, so if there is untapped production capacity, we should lean on them with whatever leverage we can muster to max out. Of course the very notion is hypothetical as nobody is actually demonstrating that we have untapped production capacity.
