Reading the future through science fiction

It is 2017.

I am reading the New Scientist. They talk about a template of mRNA research that will allow vaccines to be made faster. They predict a pandemic 'soon'.

It is 2020.

COVID is on. Who will save us from this? mRNA Science will.

It is 2025.

A death blow is dealt to mRNA research.

PSA, for whomever needs it right now:

The five Tiffany Aching novels by Terry Pratchett have an audiobook edition read by Indira Varma (with Peter Serafinowicz for the Nac Mac Feegle) and it is *wonderful*.

[I listened to them through my public library and the Libby app, and maybe you can too?.]
