辉瑞莫德纳疫苗 真正英雄 旅美中国科学家 王年爽 | 中國報 China Press

（华盛顿25日综合电）美国辉瑞和莫德纳的新冠肺炎疫苗，是运用信使核糖核酸技术（mRNA）的制成，而背后的功臣，是来自中国的科学家王年爽，尽管鲜少被美国媒体提起。王年爽，1986年生，本科毕业于中国海洋大学海洋生命学院，2009年保送进入清华大学生命科学学院结构生物学中心攻读博士学位，师从王新泉教授。2014年博士毕业后赴美进入结构生物学家，“结构疫苗学”的开拓者之一杰森．麦克莱伦教授实验室从事博士后研究。美国前总统特朗普曾多次把辉瑞等新冠肺炎疫苗的研发吹嘘成自己的“功绩”，并借此...

sorry in chinese. You may find out more yourselves.

You PDF Chinese folks are a funny lot..

without him laying the preliminary ground work of mRNA it would be impossible for Pfizer & Moderna to come out the vaccine within 1 year.
Sadly his work is undermined by Trump's hatred policy towards china

I don't see any problem here.
Coming out with the mRNA research and rushing out the vaccine prematurely without ascertaining fully that it is reasonably safe are 2 separate issues and not exclusive to each other.

I am not taking the mRNA vaccines, American or otherwise, until the technology matures further and tested more extensively for a few years at least.
Some may want to take the risk, but its traditional vaccines, American or Chinese, for me.

He was just one of many in a chain back a few years ago doing Coronavirus messenger RNA research. (Tech the Chinese apparently scoff at BTW at such cutting edge stuff)

A gamble pays off in ‘spectacular success’: How the leading coronavirus vaccines made it to the finish line

They wanted the immune system to learn to recognize the thumbtack spike, so McLellan tasked a scientist in his laboratory with identifying genetic mutations that could anchor the protein into the right configuration. It was a painstaking process for Nianshuang Wang, who now works at a biotechnology company, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. After trying hundreds of genetic mutations, he found two that worked. Five journals rejected the finding, questioning its significance, before it was published in 2017.

Not surprising.
Trump will never give credit to a Chinese researcher for his so-called US solution.
Now they are all heading home, thanks to Trump racist policy, how to make America great again?
