The purpose is to disincentivize investments in vaccine development
NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.
Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

Found family is another big theme for me.
I have three current WIPs where it's predominant.
Not because I don't have a great family - I do. But the family I chose understands me on a whole lot of other levels.

All the time. I have a couple platonic life partners raising 2 kids together, with no idea who is actually the father of the youngest (it's complicated). I've got a brother w/a younger sister he raised, believing he was her uncle, & their terrible mother.

found family is one of my favorite tropes too, & in every one of my WIPs. I like bringing together weird groups of char.s

It's found crime family for me, heavy on the "we should hate each other but instead we're healing together" and leaning into platonic soulmates.

Honestly, #SpoonieAuthChat, I tend to write a LOT of found family. People just come together in my stories, and the bonds they form are nigh unbreakable 🥰
