This year’s Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman for their work on mRNA vaccines, a crucial tool in curtailing the spread of Covid-19.
The Nobel Prize committee announced the prestigious honor, seen as the pinnacle of scientific achievement, in Sweden on Monday.
It praised the scientists’ “groundbreaking findings,” which the committee said “fundamentally changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system.” Karikó and Weissman published their results in a 2005 paper that received little attention at the time, it said, but later laid the foundation

I guess no points off for it not working and making things worse.
Even the IgNobels are better.

The Nobel Prize: serving The Narrative since 1988.
Today's Narrative, children, is "You must get vaccinated because bats screw iguanas and there's nothing we can do about it!"

Seems appropriate.
Alfred Nobel was the inventor of dynamite, a "groundbreaking" discovery in the same sense.

The deadliest shots ever! Give 'em a Nobel. If they kill nineteen times as many people as before, give 'em nineteen Nobel Prizes.

Since obama got a nobel prize for doing nothing - it doesn't mean anything anymore. This award just reinforces it.

I'd say that this is some kind of a joke but it's been obvious for years that the Nobel Prize organization went over to the dark side many years ago and now serves the interests of liberalism. When someone like Obama gets a Nobel Prize for international diplomacy when he clearly he did nothing to further international harmony it's time to disregard anything the Nobel organization supports.

Remember Alfred Nobel invented Dynamite and his invention feeds ALL THE WARS!
Then to cover his tracks he Created the Nobel Prize....Sorry Bubba, that doesn't mean SchiffT!
Alfred Nobel

Can they also be convicted of genocide if their research has been misused?

Once again, the Nobel Prize is proven to be a sad, sick joke. At least when they gave it to The Zero, he hadn't yet actually harmed anyone. Now they give it to people who harm millions.
Ineffective shots, not vaccines, which didn't prevent the disease, didn't prevent spreading the disease, and which have harmed millions are NOT a good work, they are horrible. We don't even fully know the extent of the long term harm these hideous shots have and will continue to cause.

The jury is still out on not just the effectiveness but also the long-term safety of mRNA "therapeutics" (NOT "vaccines"). A recent article on follow-up studies in Australia, for example, indicate that mRNA may in fact have unexpected effects on native DNA, with a resulting change in the human genome.
Until all such objective studies of the long-term effects are conclusively completed, I believe it would be wise to delay any large-scale uses of mRNA therapeutics, and especially in young children.

Nobel lost their reputation when they gave a prize to Yassar Arafat.

The Nobels have been meaningless since they gave the peace prize to terrrorist Yasser Arafat a couple of decades ago.

It's easier to achieve breakthrough discoveries, when your research doesn't have to be peer-reviewed or tested, due to exigencies of time.
