A close-up of Pleurobema decisum
gollark: If you wanted to wipe out all humans for some reason, it would probably be quite effective to make a virus with reaaally delayed fatal effects which spreads well in the meantime.
gollark: Somewhat open, they aren't telling people all the production details I guess. Not sure if anyone was asking for that.
gollark: The Moderna one *is* effectively open but nobody has actually done anything with it.
gollark: As far as I know the IP thing is a red herring. Moderna said they wouldn't enforce patents on their vaccine, but nobody else is manufacturing it, because it's actually quite hard: you need specialized knowledge and equipment which is hard to attain externally.
gollark: Someone mentioned this, yes. Like I said, I don't follow cancer much.
