Unable to press forward with that technology, Moderna has had to focus instead on developing a handful of vaccines, turning to a less lucrative field that might not justify the company’s nearly $5 billion valuation.
“It’s all vaccines right now, and vaccines are a loss-leader,” said one former Moderna manager. “Moderna right now is a multibillion-dollar vaccines company, and I don’t see how that holds up.”
In need of a Hail Mary
Founded in 2012, Moderna reached unicorn status — a $1 billion valuation — in just two years, faster than Uber, Dropbox, and Lyft, according to CB Insights. The company’s premise: Using custom-built strands of messenger RNA, known as mRNA, it aims to turn the body’s cells into ad hoc drug factories, compelling them to produce the proteins needed to treat a wide variety of diseases.
But mRNA is a tricky technology. Several major pharmaceutical companies have tried and abandoned the idea, struggling to get mRNA into cells without triggering nasty side effects.
Does anyone know if there is any actual truth to the reports that Pfizer's shot is primarily made up of graphene oxide? Typical media outlets jumped all over to debunk it. But it would make sense because it's a know substance that can cause blood clotting.
Whitney Webb did a good breakdown of that with Ryan Christian of Last American Vagabond. TLDW: The is no solid proof that the Pfizer shot is primarily Graphene Oxide; what's more it's sus that the first person to start spreading this info, a Spanish language researcher, said it with such certainty: since the source study that he claimed gives him that certainty is not conclusive at all.
Without advertising? Songs? Social media? Bus ads? Billboards? Commercials? Radio spots? TV spots? Celebrity endorsements? Integration into media? PSAs? Threats? Incentives?
Yeah, the so-called billion to fight "hesitency" all went into advertisements.

No
Government could probably "trust bust" or nationalize the industry at the risk of other industries exposing the Government as being their pawns too.
gotta wonder if "pharma immunity" is rescinded, what would play out.
this vaccine malarkey could be a history-making blunder with fingers pointing, not at pharma, but at the government for giving pharma a free-pass.

What are you saying? This is the biggest advertising campaign ever for a product.
Did they pay for it though, the way they would for a conventional magazine & TV campaign? Or was it just done for them?
"blood clots" keep blipping on my info-data-stream radar.
multiple sources.
it just keeps on blipping.
'bout ready to do a deep dive.
anyone have references to heavy-compelling media?
