      Yes. Is this your first time looking into how the Nobel Prize tends to be awarded?

      Gee, I wonder what could’ve possibly happened between 1993 and 2024 that caused a massive surge in messenger RNA vaccine research and development which in turn renewed interest in micro rna alternatives making its pioneers important scientific figures…. 🤔

      Probably… But isn’t the “mRNA” used in vaccines a different thing? It certainly isn’t a new discovery.

      But right. I almost forgot who we were talking about. Of course none of that will matter.

      They wouldn’t even understand the title of the article, let alone the content. They just want the dopamine hit from their blind rage.

        Of course they wouldn’t. They’d just see ‘mRNA’ and ‘Nobel Prize’ and start screaming about how they were giving the Nobel to the people who made the deadly COVID vaccine that will kill billions any day now.

        Correct, it’s deliberate. The Nobel Prize ceremony is not the Oscars. The Nobel Foundation puts their money toward the winners, not glitz and glam.

    Anyone taking odds on how long it’ll be before we discover nano-RNA? Life is exceedingly complex, and it’s a wonder that it happens at all.
