#2Seems to me like maybe a more worthy recipient of this prize might be the vaccines that are currently saving hundreds of million of people from dying in the worst pandemic in a century? You know, the miracle vaccines that were developed many times faster than any other vaccine in history? The ones that (despite being perfectly safe, effective, and arguably the greatest achievement in medicine since antibiotics) are subject to an epidemic of skepticism, where a Nobel Prize could really help?

#3I would have appreciated this year's one going for mRNA vaccine research as this would have been clearly the one to meet Nobel's will.

#5I like how they always present the work in a readable way for laymen. Look forward to the various awards each year just because it's interesting to dive into all the different stuff. The talks are also often worth a watch.

I stopped taking the nobel prize seriously when they awarded the peace nobel prize to Obama.

The Peace Prize has it’s fair share of whoppers (Henry Kissinger!), but the science ones are usually not quite that clueless. This oversight though, this one is pretty baffling to me.

We live in a world where the Nobel Peace Prize winner, bombed another Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Isn't that exactly why they should not give a prize for mRNA vaccines. The Norwegian Nobel Committee (the people who hand out the peace prize) has a history of handing out the prize too early (Obama, Arafat, etc) while the Swedish Research Council are much more cautious when handing out prizes.

#10I believe Nobels for mRNA vaccines will come next year or in the year after. There's no urgency when it comes to awarding Nobel Prizes.
