Elon Musk lauded CureVac, Moderna, and other experts in creating a COVID-19 vaccine through synthetic mRNA. He is hopeful that the future of medicine will be like this. Since stressing about the numerous false-positive and negative reports for the coronavirus in recent days, the Tesla CEO also said he is now feeling 'okay.'
The CEO recently collaborated with the German biopharmaceutical firm CureVac to acquire a SARS-CoV2 virus immunization shot to be worked on in the Berlin Gigafactory under development. CureVac will use the equipment, technologies and services of Tesla to easily monitor the work of developing a COVID-19 vaccine dependent on mRNA.
The Future of Medicine? Curevac, Moderna, Pfizer, mRNA
With the numerous tweets he recently wrote, Elon Musk is racking up Twitter's newsfeed, discussing his obsession with the health and medical industry particularly with vaccine production leaders. Musk coincides with what he meant by Harvard Medical School's Immunologist, Michael Mina (@michaelmina lab) in a thread.
VACCINES can work! Another #COVID19 phase 3 vaccine trial reports awesome results. This time, an estimated 94% efficacy 95 COVID19 detected: only 5! in the vaccine group and 90 in the placebo But like Pfizer results - need to take w caution... WHY? 1/https://t.co/6KLQxpmn8R — Michael Mina (@michaelmina_lab) November 16, 2020
Mina addressed mRNA vaccinations and leaders' initiatives to have a shot that is actually about 90% successful. In the tweet, both of which are known to use mRNA-based proteins as main agents against the coronavirus, the founders, Pfizer and Moderna's vaccine efforts are listed. Here, Elon Musk (@elonmusk) answers by mentioning that it was a "Nice Thread" and continues with the latest mRNA technologies to provide his thoughts on medicine's future. Musk finds the usage of nuclear acid to be applicable in technical terms as software and simulation issues.
Creating synthetic mRNA for cures/vaccines is the future of medicine imo. Turns it (mostly) into a software & modeling problem. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 16, 2020
A Twitter user wonders if this is something that CureVac offers, of which Elon Musk responds that it really is. The Tesla CEO made clear the organization's efforts and partnership with the biopharmaceutical company to develop a vaccine for COVID-19 in Tesla's Giga Berlin.
Elon Musk reacts by confirming the contributions of CureVac in the mRNA-based vaccine, also praising the efforts of Moderna in the quest to produce the COVID-19 vaccine. Musk adds that Tesla's technologies will greatly speed up "trillions" of mRNA strand tests.
After COVID-19 Scare And False Positives, Elon Musk Feels 'Okay'
Since manifesting COVID-19 symptoms and taking PCR tests to know whether he is sick with the infection, the Tesla CEO has engaged himself more in health-related terminology and conversations in the past week. The tests Musk took, though, were blowing up false positive and negative outcomes, frustrating him.
By replying to the CEO's recent post, a Twitter user questions Elon Musk regarding his situation. Here, Elon Musk responds that he feels okay" and that his most current findings indicate no further signs of COVID-19. The Tesla CEO says he will track his state and wellness on an ongoing basis.
CureVac, Moderna & a few others. Tesla makes the machine CureVac uses to go from known gene sequence to trillions of lipid-coated mRNA strands. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 16, 2020
