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.

I’m not gonna lie. The speed for the approval of this vax has me anxious.
The process was quick, but the data are what they are. We have 30k+ exposed to each vax with a few months of follow-up. There are drugs approved every year with far less exposure and follow-up. In many cases it can take 10+ years for the post marketing safety surveillance to shake out. Roll with it. If we fail, we are going to fail quick and fail big. Also, Robert E Lee could probably do better logistics around the distribution.

I have no idea what any of this means but can't the Government take the "recipe" for this vaccine and give it to Johnson and Johnson, Merck, Roche, etc... and say produce the shit out of this and we will work with the military to get it distributed to every HEB, Walgreens, CVS in the country. Hell they could go door to door and vaccinate whole neighborhoods if needed.
Why stop at taking the recipe? Why not just federalize all the pharmacies in the country and make all the immunization certified pharmacists federal employees. We don't even have to pay them, just make them go door to door pumping shots.
