Talk about eye-popping! When China arrested doctors for getting the word out for a weird pneumonia, "someone" in China released the DNA on the Cornaviris to scientists worldwide, who took it as a blueprint into having a vaccine.

No one but the scientists who develop a vaccine should get a Nobel Prize
