The scientist who won the race to deliver the first widely used coronavirus vaccine says the technology behind it will soon be used to fight another global scourge — cancer.

The Associated Pressvaccine says people can rest assured the shots are safe, and the technology behind it will soon be used to fight another global scourge — cancer.

Within 11 months, Britain had authorized the use of the mRNA vaccine BioNTech developed with U.S. pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, followed a week later by the United States. Tens of millions of people worldwide have received the shot since December. Along with Pfizer, the company enlisted the help of Fosun Pharma in China “to get assets, capabilities and geographical footprint on board, which we did not have," Tureci said.

“The process of getting a medicine or a vaccine approved is one where many questions are asked, many experts are involved and there is external peer review of all the data and scientific discourse,” she said. As BioNTech's profile has grown during the pandemic, so has its value, providing funds the company can use to pursue its original goal of developing a new tool against cancer.made by BioNTech-Pfizer and U.S. rival Moderna uses messenger RNA, or mRNA, to carry instructions into the human body for making proteins that prime it to attack a specific virus. The same principle can be applied to get the immune system to take on tumors.

For now, Tureci and Sahin are trying to ensure the vaccines governments have ordered are delivered and that the shots respond effectively to any new mutation in the virus.

The best choice I've made this year was investing in cryptocurrency and forex trading and earning from home. With the help of Kellybrian_ I've been earning $ 23k weekly I've never regretted this decision. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Im pretty sure thats how the zombies came to be in the I am legend move when they 'tried' to cure cancer

And then we all become zombies.🙄

The powers that be will never let it happen to much money being made on cancer big business

It's great that women are getting recognized in science and medicine, but this sounds like she did it by herself, which is ridiculous. Large teams of people create vaccines, not a single person.

Thank you for all your difficult and dedicated work, for humanity!

Viruses are alien colonies that are working hard to survive too.

This would be the miracle I have been asking and praying for-2 in my family have pancreatic cancer. A drug I was taking has cancer as a side effect. Godspeed dear Scientists, Godspeed.
