**Good question? The vaccines were alleged pandemic game changers. Alleged. And yet Nobel didn’t even acknowledge this “miraculous” new technology with it’s prestigious award? Why?**

**[Why COVID science didn’t win a Nobel](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02787-x)**

Some scientists **expressed surprise and disappointment that none of this year’s Nobel prizes were awarded to COVID-19 vaccines, particularly those developed using messenger-RNA (mRNA) technology**, which have launched a new class of vaccine. The timing of nominations — which must be submitted by 1 February — might be a factor. So too is the question of how mRNA technology will kick off research into vaccines against other diseases. ***“We want to give credit to the right people. And for the right discovery,” says Göran Hansson,*** secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, which selects the prize winners. “So stay tuned.”

**Give credit to the right people for the right discovery???**

**The timing was NOT a factor. We should all recall Obama being nominated then winning a ‘peace prize’ before his inauguration- accepting the award immediately after.**

**Sensible speculation suggests that this global experiment, outcome unknown, is better unacknowledged lest the outcome be unworthy of historical recognition.**
