Reverse Engineering the source code of the BioNTech/Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine

by Volker Weber

RNA is the volatile ‘working memory’ version of DNA. DNA is like the flash drive storage of biology. DNA is very durable, internally redundant and very reliable. But much like computers do not execute code directly from a flash drive, before something happens, code gets copied to a faster, more versatile yet far more fragile system.

For computers, this is RAM, for biology it is RNA. The resemblance is striking. Unlike flash memory, RAM degrades very quickly unless lovingly tended to. The reason the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA vaccine must be stored in the deepest of deep freezers is the same: RNA is a fragile flower.

That was the easy part. Now on to the actual source code of the vaccine. It's only 4284 characters long, but repeated 2 trillion times.

Biotech in Nerd-Lingo erklärt. Fantastisch, ich habe eine Menge verstanden. Was für eine großartige Leistung der weltweiten Wissenschaft. Bedauerlich, dass so viele Menschen zu ignorant sind, um sowas zu verstehen.

Danke für den Link!
