Researchers who developed the mRNA technology behind Covid vaccines win "America's Nobel"
Two US researchers who developed the technology that underlies both the Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines won a prestigious medical prize Friday often known as "America's Nobel."
Lasker Foundation said.
"This breakthrough enabled rapid development of highly effective Covid-19 vaccines. In addition to providing a tool for quelling a devastating pandemic, the innovation is fueling progress toward treatments and preventives for a range of different illnesses," the Foundation, which has been giving the awards since 1945, said in a statement.
Their technology is licensed to both BioNTech, which partners with Pfizer to make its vaccine, and Moderna, whose vaccine was developed in part with US federal research funding.

NEWS CORONAVIRUS VACCINE PARENTING GEORGIA
An unvaccinated mother of three passed away on Sunday without holding her newborn son following a diagnosis of COVID-19 and pneumonia, according to her family.
Marrisha "ReRe" Kindred Jenkins was diagnosed on September 4, a month before she was due to give birth, but she went into labor three days later on September 7 and delivered a baby boy.
The baby, called Jaylen, was premature but healthy and was placed into quarantine before Marrisha had the opportunity to hold him. She would never get the chance.

Marrisha and her husband, Joshua Myles Jenkins, were set to visit baby Jaylen on Sunday.
According to a GoFundMe page the family has set up, "On Sunday morning, her and Myles were preparing to see their newborn for the first time."
"As she started getting ready, she having a hard time breathing. She went to take a bath, and they heard a noise. When they checked on her, she had a weak pulse. At that point, Myles called 911 and started CPR. Marrisha coded on the way to the hospital and upon arrival," the page says.
"Due to this, she was placed on a ventilator. After further assessment, the doctors determined Marrisha had severe brain damage. She lost her fight to COVID-19 on September 23, 2021."

Joshua Myles Jenkins told Atlanta's WSB-TV: "She was just loving.
"You just felt happy every time you got around her," he said.
Helena Kindred, Marrisha's mother, also spoke to WSB-TV, saying she did not expect her daughter to pass away after she had been sent home from the hospital.
"She said, 'mom, they said my lungs are clear' and they sent her home," Kindred said. "We said she has some issues but I wasn't expecting what happened to her."

Kindred described the situation as her daughter was brought to the hospital on Sunday: "Myles was doing CPR before they got there and she coded in the ambulance and when they got her to the hospital, she coded again.
"At that time, with no oxygen to the brain, it caused severe damage," she said.
On Thursday, the family decided to turn off life support and Marrisha Kindred Jenkins passed away. Her mother believes things might have gone differently if Marrisha had been vaccinated.
"If she had been vaccinated, I truly believe she would not have died," said Helena Kindred.
Marrisha Kindred Jenkins is survived by her husband and three children, six-year-old Rylee, five-year-old Ayden and baby Jaylen. She did not have insurance, so the family is accepting donations via GoFundMe.
"We truly appreciate the love you guys had for Marrisha 'ReRe' Kindred Jenkins. She will be truly missed," the page says.

Since Delta began circulating widely in the U.S., Covid has exacted a horrific death toll on red America: In counties where Donald Trump received at least 70 percent of the vote, the virus has killed about 47 out of every 100,000 people since the end of June, according to Charles Gaba, a health care analyst. In counties where Trump won less than 32 percent of the vote, the number is about 10 out of 100,000.Comment
