Good morning 🌤️ Have you heard the one about the two scientists smoking a blunt? A few scientists shared a blunt one evening, and one of them probably said, *hits blunt* “You know, we could make a malaria vaccine and deal with massive price gouging from Big Pharma, orrrrr, and hear me out, we could make the mosquitoes deliver the vaccine with the same persistence.” And the idea took hold long after sobriety returned, so here we are.
