    The mrna vaccines that allowed us to quickly target covid were under development for targeting cancers. We all got super lucky to be honest.

      Iirc a version of a COVID vaccine was already “ready” in some labs before any lockdowns started. Actually doing all the testing, mass producing it, preserving it, transporting it, storing - probably took most of the time.
