Moderna COVID vaccine authorized by FDA for emergency use in US


CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Americans will soon have access to a second COVID-19 vaccine.
Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, granted emergency authorization Friday  to a vaccine made by Moderna, a week after giving similar clearance to one made by Pfizer and its German collaborator, BioNTech.
His is authorizing rather than approving the vaccine, because longer-term research is needed to meet the full standards for approval, which officials don t want to wait for during the public health emergency. 
The speedy path to authorization was possible because the agency “cut through regulatory red tape,” Hahn said at a Friday night press conference. We worked quickly based on the urgency of this global pandemic . we have not cut corners. ....

BioNTech scientist Katalin Karikó risked her career to develop mRNA vaccines. Americans will start getting her coronavirus shot on Monday. | Business Insider México


«It was a one-way ticket,» she told Business Insider. «We didn’t know anybody.»
It was 1985. The family was moving from Hungary to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, so Karikó could take a postdoctoral position at Temple University. They were only permitted to exchange $100, but Karikó found a workaround: She hid extra cash – £900 British pounds – in her daughter’s teddy bear. The money had come from selling the family’s car on the black market.
In a way, Karikó’s entire career has been based on this kind of clever solution. In 2005, she discovered a way to configure messenger RNA – a molecule that kickstarts the production of proteins – so that it slipped past the body’s natural defenses, unannounced.  ....

Scientist Katalin Karikó struggled for years to convince colleagues that messenger RNA could have disease-fighting applications in humans.
In 2005, she found a way to configure mRNA so that it slipped past the body s natural defenses a discovery that paved for the way for the world s first mRNA vaccines.
The COVID-19 vaccines from both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna rely on this technology.
Pfizer s vaccine was authorized Friday for emergency use in the US. ....
