The announcement of the Nobel Prize in Medicine for mRNA researchers Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman on Monday provoked numerous reactions. In addition to Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens), pharmacologist Markus Zeitlinger also spoke cheerfully.
Austrian pharmacologist Markus Zeitlinger was “insanely happy” with this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine winners, Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, as he said when asked by the APA.
“Nice plate”
According to the doctor, it is a “nice sign” for every person, every scientist, every doctor who helped during the pandemic. It is “one of the greatest successes in medicine in recent years, if not the greatest,” he emphasized.
Austrian virologist Florian Krammer sees the award of the Nobel Prize for Medicine as a “strong signal”. Above all, Karikó’s story is inspiring: ‘She never gave up.’ In any case, the opportunities offered by her findings on the basic principles of mRNA technology are ‘greater than the Covid-19 vaccines.’
Congratulate politicians
Health Minister Johannes Rauch (Greens) also spoke out via X (formerly Twitter): “The corona vaccination has saved countless lives and made an important contribution to overcoming the pandemic. I congratulate Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissmann on their well-deserved Nobel Prize for their years of work in mRNA research.”
Ralph Schallmeiner, health spokesman for the Green Party, also warmly congratulated the two laureates on receiving the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their work on developing vaccines using mRNA technology.
