For one thing, they all used gene therapy technologies, and each was a new method relative to the past and to each other. For instance, the AstraZeneca vaccine was based on an adenovirus capsid containing double-stranded DNA as opposed to an adeno-associated virus (AAV) of the Johnson &amp; Johnson\/Janssen vaccine, while the Moderna and Pfizer\/BioNTech vaccines were based on single-stranded mRNA inside lipid nanoparticles.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"\"><p> \u201cImplementation science is the unsung handmaiden of biomedical discovery!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Secondly, each of them was approved by the FDA 10 times faster than the vast majority of therapeutic products, and finally, the cost per vaccine has been as low as $2 per dose for the United Nations\u2019 COVAX global access program. That\u2019s about a million times cheaper than Zolgensma, he says, referring to the AAV gene therapy medication used to treat spinal muscular atrophy. So since \u201cany one of these could spark a revolution,\u201d according to Church, imagine what could happen in the next 12 months if all four factors pertain again?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Church points to factors that helped make such a success of three of the top COVID-19 vaccine technologies.
