Nobel Prize recognizes scientists who laid groundwork for COVID-19 vaccines : Shots - Health News https://www.npr.org/1202941256

The 2023 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Hungarian-born Katalin Karikó and American Drew Weissman for work that enabled the development mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. Their work, undertaken at the University of Pennsylvania, made it possible to develop vaccines based on genetic material called messenger RNA. The scientists discovered that changing a chemical building block of mRNA – substituting pseudouridine for uridine — eliminated an inflammatory side effect that was a barrier to development of this new kind of vaccine. They published their work 15 years before the COVID pandemic.

"Rosalind Franklin discovered the DNA double helix in 1953, but she never won a Nobel Prize due to sexism.

Years later, Katalin Karikó was kicked out and forced to retire from academia.

Despite this, 70 years after Franklin's discovery, Karikó was awarded the Nobel Prize for developing life-saving #COVID vaccines from another nucleic acid, mRNA."

How am I just now hearing that Katalin Karikó won a Nobel prize for her work on mRNA vaccines?

Ever since more than a decade ago clowns and criminals took over my homeland, it's really hard to be proud of Hungary. Even in such rare occasions all I see is a brilliant scientist who had to go to another country to achieve true greatness. I fear for the future of the land, our leaders have failed us, education and healthcare systems and crumbling, inflation is the double of the European average, and the brainwashed population is only worried about the LGBTQ community grooming kids. Fuck my life.

A Svéd Királyi Tudományos Akadémia döntése értelmében a 2023. évi fiziológiai és orvostudományi Nobel-díjat Karikó Katalinnak és Drew Weissmannak ítélték oda a módosított nukleozidokkal kapcsolatos felfedezéseikért, amelyek lehetővé tették a Covid-19 elleni hatékony mRNS-vakcinák kifejlesztését.

Telex: Volt miépesekkel menzateáztam órákon át, közben horthyztak, csurkáztak és zsidóztak körülöttem

Bár van, aki nem ért egyet vele, a legnagyobb ellenszenvet mégsem ez a téma kapja, hanem az egykori miépes képviselő, Mestyanek Ödön, aki mintha szintén nem tudná, milyen rendezvényen van. Egyszer csak arról kezd el beszélni, hogy milyen jó, hogy ezt a vakcinát a Covid ellen feltalálták, “egy zseniális dolgot talált ki Karikó Katalin”. Erre a találkozó résztvevői egy emberként zúdulnak fel, fújolják ki. “Rengeteg ember hal meg naponta az oltás miatt. Karikó Magyarország szégyene. Le kellene tagadnunk Karikó Katalint. A pokolba vele” – érkeznek sorban a bekiabálások.

OMG!

Another!

Krausz Ferenc won the Nobel-prize in physics with two other scientist!

Karikó Katalin won a Nobel-prize!

She is the 15th Hungarian Nobel-prize winner (there were two other of Hungarian origin) and more importantly the first woman!

Any time the topic of the unusually high number of Hungarian Nobel-prize winners comes up, we can't ignore the sad fact that only two of them won their prize while living in Hungary and doing their activity in Hungary, but even them had to disappoint in the country, the others had to emigrate or their parents already left Hungary. It's not diffenrent in Karikó's case either.

But still, rather than being sad over this, I'm cheering for her because she slayed as a scientist, as a woman and a little bit as a Hungarian, and I'm remembering the time when she visited my school after the success of the vaccine with a cheerful attitude and a freaking backpack!

(I have zero photographic skills.)
