RNA

I heard about this early this morning on the news, so I did a bit of research. Here a snippet of an article that I found from the Washington Post:

LONDON — In the global race to beat back the coronavirus pandemic, scientists in Britain, Germany, China, and the United States are pushing to develop, and possibly manufacture, vaccines in a completely new way.

This promising — but unproven — new generation of vaccine technologies is based on deploying a tiny snip of genetic code called messenger RNA to trigger the immune system. It has never before been approved for use.

But almost overnight, these cutting-edge RNA vaccine efforts have leaped forward as top candidates to fight covid-19. Some developers plan to have tens of millions of doses ready by the end of the year.

Elegant in theory, efficacious in the laboratory but untested in the real world, the possible RNA vaccines are especially attractive because they might be cheaper, easier and faster to manufacture on a massive scale — at least one team boasts it could partner with producers in developing countries to provide millions of vials for as little as $5 a pop.

Brazil, ravaged by coronavirus, becomes testing ground for vaccine push 

 

Once again, necessity has become the mother of invention due to a need for speed in the production of a vaccine. Hmm, they say that vaccines have never been developed this way before. Do you know what I say? It pays to have a strong prayer connection with Almighty GOD!!

The operational slogan that comes out of this pandemic for every soul should be:

"Pray and wait and wait and pray because GOD will!!"

So, let's all retain our faith and see where this leads. Be safe.
