Time named vaccine makers Hero of the Year

According to the American Time magazine, the inventors of the COVID-19 vaccine have become the Heroes of 2021. The publication noted the American biochemist Drew Weisman, the senior vice president of the pharmaceutical company and the Hungarian biochemist Katalin Kariko, the deputy director of the American CDC regulator and immunologist Barney Graham and Kizzmekia Corbett. The latter two participated in the development of a vaccine in cooperation with the American company Moderna.

Time writes that the named scientists have achieved a critical breakthrough by providing an innovative and highly effective mRNA-based vaccine base. The publication emphasizes that researchers have provided humanity with a weapon against the coronavirus in order to fight the difficulties that people still face.

According to Time, the four scientists are not the only ones who have created a covid vaccine using different technologies and platforms. Most of the drugs have been made using methods that have been converted at high speed to fight the new virus.

The publication named Weisman, Cariko, Graham and Corbett not only "heroes of the year", but also "miracle workers."

Last year, Time named American immunologist and infectious disease specialist Anthony Fauci and the organizers of the racial justice movement "Guardians of the Year". Fauci has been honored with the title of guardian for the fight against coronavirus and misinformation related to COVID-19. The magazine highlighted American Porche Bennett Bay as the organizer of resistance in the city of Kenosha after police abuse of office, and Frenchwoman Assou Traore, who fights police violence and racism.

According to Time, the person of 2021 is the head of SpaceX and Tesla Elon Musk. The publication calls the businessman not only the richest man in the world, but also "an example of the most ambitious changes in society." Tesla's capitalization has surpassed $ 1 trillion this year, and SpaceX has become the world's largest commercial manufacturer of rockets and space equipment.
