I <3 mRNA
This isn't my area of expertise but this just seems like an enormous breakthrough for human well being.

Agreed. It’s not perfect — nothing is — but that tech offers the possibility of vaccines for diseases that we could not previously plausibly create such things for, and it might even allow vaccination against many types of cancer (though by no means all).
mRNA tech could be on par with antibiotics in utility and life-saving capabilities over the long term. At the very least it’s already saved several hundred thousand lives, so what’s not to love?
