These guys are heroes. Doing their job, but they came in clutch and saved millions of lives.

Not just that but mRNA vaccines are a very novel kind of delivery system. It has the possibility to completely revolutionize vaccines and medicine.

It's absolutely fascinating and I'm eager to see what the future will bring out of it.
