“it’s trivially easy to make an mRNA vaccine to cure cancer” followed by “but we’re still extremely far from proving it works” is not the flex you think it is but also the most accidentally honest summary of everything wrong with modern science i’ve ever read. the science works, the institution doesn’t. and the institution will let you die on a waiting list before it admits that a guy with chatgpt and $3,000 just did what they need 15 years, $2 billion, and six committees to approve. academia has become a parking lot for bureaucrats who gatekeep cures and progress because their tenure depends on it. the biggest medical advances in history didn’t have an IRB protocol. medical breakthroughs happen because someone just did the thing.
