The earlier in the day Monday you reblog the funnier this gets

New patent-free COVID vaccine developed as “gift to the world”

A new COVID-19 vaccine, developed by researchers from the Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine, is being offered patent-free to vaccine manufacturers across the world. Human trials have shown the vaccine to be safe and effective, with India already authorizing its use as production ramps up to over 100 million doses per month. The vaccine has been named Corbevax and it is based on a traditional protein-based technology that has been safely used for decades. Like other COVID-19 vaccines, Corbevax focuses on the coronavirus spike protein, but instead of using mRNA to direct our cells to produce those spike proteins internally it delivers lab-grown spike proteins to the body. The researchers took the gene that codes for the spike protein and engineered yeast to produce it. These proteins are collected, purified, and combined with an adjuvant to enhance immune responses. This exact method has been used to produce the hepatitis B vaccine for years. “Protein-based vaccines have been widely used to prevent many other diseases, have proven safety records, and use economies of scale to achieve low-cost scalability across the world,” says Maria Elena Bottazzi, one of the lead researchers on the project.

It can not be overstates how important it is that this vaccine can be stored in a normal refrigerator  and is easy to produce with affordable standard equipment that is already available almost everywhere because low-income countries have been using this same equipment to create hepatitis B vaccines. As a result, production cost will also be low: about $1.5 - $2 per dose.

Other cool things:

They deliberately made the vaccine vegan and halal to make sure more people are willing to take it.

These researchers aren’t just doing this because they’re ‘too late to cash in’. They have a track record of releasing patent-less vaccines and for the last two decades have focused on creating vaccines that are considered ‘not profitable enough’, like vaccines for parasites that primarily occur in low-income regions.

One thought I had is this: Kara is always the big hero who must make the ultimate sacrifice to save the world. She’s had to do that so many times now, again and again. She is the only one who has the strength and heart to sacrifice herself for the world. And everyone in her life lets her do it, because she’s Supergirl. That’s what she’s meant to do - to protect them and to die doing it. But Lena calls bullshit on that. She doesn’t accept that Kara must be offered as the sacrificial lamb for the world. Lena swoops in and says actually, fuck that. I’ll build anti-kryptonite suits. I’ll establish emergency protocols and mind-wipes my entire family to protect Kara’s identity. Kara doesn’t get to go off and die alone. Lena won’t let her.

And that is quite frankly WHY supercorp is endgame.

[sapphic-luthor]

they glossed over it a little bit but i think it’s also insanely important that lena not only used myriad and mind control and told everyone she did, but that she used it to wipe people’s minds of kara’s identity

like that’s….. that’s next level protection. that’s classic lena “sometimes we do bad things for good reasons” luthor in full force, ignoring the moral implications of something because she just wants to protect the people she loves.

it also takes away a MASSIVE smoking gun that lex and lillian were sitting on. like strategically that’s a huge W for the superfriends

‘As you wish’ was all he ever said to her. That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying, ‘As you wish,’ what he meant was, ‘I love you’. And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back.
