The history of DARPA funding mRNA vaccine platforms should be more widely known, because it's exactly what the government should be doing.
DARPA identified novel pathogens with pandemic potential as a key threat to the US (and everyone else), identified mRNA vaccine platforms as something that would allow more rapid responses to novel pathogens, and invested in it.
And then when exactly that happened -- there were mRNA vaccine platforms ready.
