Heard a biochemist on a podcast break down vaccine development timelines and it finally clicked for me
She explained how mRNA tech had been studied since the early 1990s for cancer, so the COVID shot wasn't built from scratch in a year. Made me wonder how many other conspiracies fall apart when you actually look at the paper trails, has anyone else found a specific scientist that changed your view on something?

Yeah but the same funding records show how much money was funneled into mRNA research after 2001 bioterrorism scares, so the timeline isn't as clean as people pretend. And the lab leak thing is still debated by actual scientists who point out how rare it is for a bat coronavirus to jump directly to humans with that spike protein.

Dr. Katalin Kariko's work on mRNA at Penn in the 1990s is what got me. She was literally trying to get funding for years while everyone told her it was a dead end. That paper trail of grants and rejections is plain as day. Same guy who debunked the whole "lab leak" thing early on, Dr. Kristian Andersen, showed all the data on the virus's natural origins. Once you follow the actual research papers and funding records, most of the wild claims just don't hold up. It's really that simple if you bother to look.

Same thing with flat earthers - you show them how ships vanish hull first and they just move the goalposts. People want simple answers so bad they ignore the actual boring paper trails right in front of them.
