The Quiet Scientist Behind The Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA Vaccine | Forbes

Katalin Karikó is an unsung hero. For decades, she has quietly devoted her career to studying and promoting mRNA technology—technology that is now the basis of the Covid vaccines being distributed across the globe.

Karikó was born in Hungary and began her scientific career there, but immigrated to Philadelphia in 1985 with her husband, daughter, and the equivalent of $1200 stuffed in her daughter's teddy bear for safe keeping. Her first ten years in the U.S. were not smooth; her idea that mRNA could be used to fight disease was, at the time, considered too radical and risky. She was demoted from her job at a Penn lab and was diagnosed with cancer shortly thereafter. But she didn't give up on her mRNA thesis; in 2006 she cofounded a firm to develop mRNA drugs, and in 2013 joined BioNTech as a senior vice president. She is also now the head of its RNA protein replacement therapies.

“I never doubted it would work,” she told the Guardian shortly before the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine got emergency use authorization from the federal government. “I always wished that I would live long enough to see something that I’ve worked on be approved.”

Dr Robert Malone is the first person doing this along with others. I'm an ex scientist and it's rarely a one man or woman show. He actually explains in very good detail the history on an interview on "The Intellectual People" channel. He doesn't need someone narrating his story, he says what happend straight from the horses mouth. His mistake is that he's honest about what goes on high up in science, I e. Greed and corruption.

dr robert malone is the inventor of mRNA. get your facts straight

[margogreen]

And the sheep are headed for slaughter!

[PMMJC]

Thank you Dr Robert Malone for all you did to help develop the science. We with our brains in tact follow your insight and wisdom and not this lady or Dr Fauci. 🙏🇺🇸

[defiant]

Thanks for putting the guitly names here for future use.

[mpho]

Yeah I’m good . Shout out to my immune system, even though they act like you don’t exist I still believe in you .

[BigstickNick]

my question is ...how do we know the production of the malicious code is killed off?

It appears not

[bekkie]

This poor women Do not know how she is going to live with her Conscience. The death this is going to cause 😭😢😭

[synyster_gaitas]

Fact Check: Robert Malone was the originator of the mRNA technology, he is the owner of the pattents. This woman is a contributer to it's development.

[peterverhelst]

It bothers me immensely that the lady is not allowed to speak for herself. This, in my opinion, makes the entire story suspect.

[verndope]

Cutting edge science " that's never been used" they seriously said that

[eddiej]

Thanks for the heart problems I now have! Im listening to Dr Robert Malone.

[sistacentral]

Dr. Malone WAS Actually the one "Head if His Time"!!!

[gregr]

The quiet scientist.
Stealthy .
Undercover.
Deadly.

[shalimarsulaiman]

I hope she gets investigated for crime against humanity!

[nunyabizanyway]

She needs needs to meet every person with an adverse effect & every family member that has had someone die post vaccine. Myocarditis, coagulopathy, brain stem thrombosis, neurological seizures, other neurological symptoms.

[vincentcacciola]

She isn't the originator Dr Robert Malone and his team put the platform together in 1988 get real

[helene]

Dr Kariko, please update us on your explanation(s) on the excess deaths that keep occurring.

[mohammedalihussain]

Would love to see her give the vaccines to her kids

[TheStrongTRUTH]

I have an immune system... My GOD given immune system works just fine. I don't need help with that...
