Applications scientist at ATA Scientific, Peter Davis, said it was “absolutely possible” for Australia to set up mRNA vaccine manufacturing at scale.It’s not yet clear exactly what technology would be required to manufacture Pfizer or Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccines under licence, but both companies have worked with Precision in the past, Mr Davis said.
Professor Pall Thordarson, chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence in Bio-Nano Science and a member of the effort said it was “not a question of whether we can do it, but when”. The company has indicated it would consider investment in mRNA technologies in the future, however. It declined to comment on Wednesday.A 2017 report prepared for the Defence DepartmentTo achieve onshore production for existing vaccines, Australia would also have to reach an agreement with those companies. A Pfizer spokeswoman said it was working to expand its manufacturing capacity, both internally and by signing contract manufacturers.
“I am very wary about companies who say they can do large-scale commercial manufacturing – as opposed to those companies that actually can. That’s a big difference,” he said.

Scientists and government pushing for ways to make mRNA vaccines hereThe federal government is working with the biotech industry on ways to establish large-scale mRNA vaccine manufacturing in Australia as a group of senior scientists work on a parallel plan to enable local production of the cutting-edge jabs. ... Yay! Rushed experimental genetic technology for everyone! ScottMorrisonMP let’s make this happen - quickly. Isn't it wonderful how it takes a major disaster or tragedy to wake governments up on what should've been done in response to the predictions of good science? Economics always comes first at the expense of good science. Absolutely pathetic!!

Rescue flights to pick up 17,000 stranded AussiesMore than 100 rescue flights will be sent around the world over the next year to collect about 17,000 stranded Australians – around half the people registered as wanting to come home | Gallo_Ways katinacurtis Gallo_Ways katinacurtis Excuse me? 100 flights to take a year? You have got to be fucking kidding me Those flights could be mustered in a day The only reason is that f'ing Scott Morrison and f'ing Josh Frydenberg are stingy xenophobes that represent other stingy xenophobes they don't want to piss off Gallo_Ways katinacurtis Let me guess. By Christmas. Gallo_Ways katinacurtis Stop it. Just stop it. How many broken promises have to happen before you stop reporting Morrison's bullshit as anything other than what it is? Take a look at the Libs' last twenty announcements. Try to find one that they've actually followed through on. How many will it take?

Brisbane startup says it can make mRNA vaccines for AustraliaContract manufacturing firm Luina Bio says it has the capacity to make mRNA vaccines like those made by Pfizer and Moderna, but needs government support to bring these to Australians. MsEmmaK So can CSL. Not at sure why they aren't. MsEmmaK This is where our tax money should be going. I vote yes MsEmmaK Minister Karen Andrews said No, but maybe in the future. Sticking with current CSL rollout.

Biotech company pushes to make mRNA coronavirus vaccines in AustraliaAustralia could begin local production of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines within six to 12 months, an international biotech company says — but such a scheme would depend on approvals and investment. Great to see, small correction - should be plasmids not ‘plasmas’ as written. Covid manufacturers are raking it in yet still rattle the begging bowl Tell them to fuck off Holden and Ford scammed tax millions every year for 2 decades and still upped sticks when it suited them Fucking parasites What's the value in that. Liberals would not be able to put the vaccines in people's arms.
