Reverse Engineering the BioNTech/Pfizer Vaccine

Bert Hubert’s reverse engineering of the BioNTech/Pfizer SARS-CoV-2 vaccine — magic bytes, antiviral detection bypass, code optimization.

Fascinating read about how a modern mRNA vaccine works - turns out it’s not very different from the olden days when people manually examined disassembled code (or even just binary) and tried to hack it:

• Life’s “magic bytes” (GA).
• Bypassing Life’s antiviral detection.
• Code optimization.
• Finding the code to prop up the spike protein without an actual virus body.
• Inflating the “counter” to prolong the usefulness of mRNA.
