Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021
The Nobel Prize typically rewards basic research, not applied - look up who got the prize with respect polio vaccines if you're curious.

Good point. In this case Katalin Karikó and Weismann are the frontrunners.

I've really been holding out hope for K. Karikó. She put up with such monumental struggles. Obviously the MRNA Covid vaccine is a huge "prize" and vindication for her, but I'd love to see even more. She deserves it.
