Kids know more about mRNA than moms!

Hey mom, listen, listen!

The mRNA vaccine will be administered soon, right? Are you interested in mRNA? Hey, hey, I'm just worried about the side effects.

The coronavirus is an ultra-primitive organism made up of only mRNA, not DNA.

The genetic information in mRNA is very fragile. It is said that because it is so fragile, living organisms have created more stable DNA during the course of evolution .

However, mRNA has evolved in its own way. To prevent it from breaking down, a substance called a "methyl group" is attached to the end of the mRNA. This is called a "cap structure."

So, they attach methyl groups to the artificially created mRNA, then wrap it in lipid nanoparticles, and finally freeze it at minus 80 degrees Celsius.

In other words, if the cap structure had not been elucidated, mRNA vaccines could not have been developed.

But did you know that the person who discovered this was a Japanese man who was only 30 years old 50 years ago? He's a professor in Niigata now, and I wonder if he'll win the Nobel Prize?

By the way, the "lipid nanoparticles" that encase the artificial mRNA are mainly developed and manufactured in Japan by Fujifilm.

I don't know about Pfizer or Moderna, but Fujifilm will be in charge of manufacturing and distributing the next-generation "replicon (self-replicating mRNA) vaccine. " The developer of this vaccine is actually Japanese.

Daiichi Sankyo is steadily making preparations to produce mRNA vaccines domestically.

Takeda and Shionogi are also developing a conventional vaccine called a "recombinant protein type. " Takeda is also licensed to produce AstraZeneca vaccines.

In other words, Japan's decisive battle against the virus on the mainland from 2022 onwards, known as " Operation Reiwa Yashima," will be carried out by reliable and trustworthy Made in Japan products.

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da! Let's unite the forces of Japan's eight continents and eradicate the coronavirus!

The US and Germany are boasting that they developed this vaccine, while the Japanese government is slow to act. However, it turns out that Japanese people and Japanese companies are deeply involved in the related technology .

Japan may have the best on-site capabilities in the world, but even at this point, there are still not enough injections being given due to pressure from the Japanese Association of Quack Doctors, in other words, political issues.

Don't you think they should just throw in some Kangoshi, Shikaishi, Yakuzaishi, and even Mercy as a trump card?

Oh, I see.

The punchline is that Marcy (Tashiro Ma) specializes in intravenous injections. I mean, she's a lot more stable than the novice nurse with shaky hands lol
