Science & serendipity: lipid nanoparticles that enable COVID-19 mRNA vaccines - Gairdner Lectures

Dr. Pieter Cullis was awarded the Canada Gairdner International Award 2022 "for his pioneering work developing nucleoside-modified mRNA and lipid nanoparticle (LNP) drug delivery: the foundational technologies for the highly effective COVID-19 mRNA vaccines." Dr. Cullis presented his award-winning research at the 2022 Gairdner Science Week Laureate Lectures.

For those interested in BNT162B - @23:18 he starts to explain the details versus the slide indexed by TheScientist777 with the COVID specific information starting @27:00

[@syoc9543]

"95% effective" lol and at 13:44 what is "relatively" non-toxic supposed to mean? are LNPs with PEG toxic?

[@TheScientist777]

@14:00 BNT162B (2012-2020)

0 comments?🤣. Well we now know mRNA Covid 19 vaccine does not prevent infection.

You said it like you were a scientist or a doctor. That’s not its main purpose. Vaccines do not stop transmission completely, they slow it down. It’s not a physical barrier and the reason that masks and keeping your distance were also recommended. Do you have anything to say on the topic of the professor?

[@Littleprinceleon]

😅😅😅 but really not... Do you happen to have read any scientific paper on the topics? Or you simply belong to the simple-minded ones who are happy at the "failings" of others. If only half of the decisions of different governments all over the world were half as successful as many COVID vaccines

​@@jnmc2498wow, that's funny. I remember being told over and over by the media and the government that if you got a Covid "vaccine", you would NOT get Covid. They were very adamant about that and made it the biggest reason why we should have gotten one. Then after everyone realized that wasn't actually the case, they changed their minds and told us that we can get Covid but we wouldn't get hospitalized or die. Then that ended up being a lie too. I can't believe there are people who have forgotten how often they told us that transmission wouldn't be possible through a vaccinated person, lol. I think those lipid nanoparticles have accumulated in people's brains.
