That is clearly a thing worth doing.

So I want to push back on the idea that it would always be possible to counter.

I'm excited that eventually parts of this might be defence dominant.

That you talked about very excitingly, like very advanced manufacturing capability.

We at CLTR have been thinking about this a lot.

Yeah, more colleagues than myself.

So it's like we can put up links to the relevant papers in the show notes.

But you're right that advanced manufacturing capability is going to be really, really important.

I wouldn't rely on it, though, in the sense that it's going to take a very long time to get this online.

I think there is this sort of golden world where we have always on flexible local capacity that every GP, every doctor's office in the country for the Americans, you can just press a button, take a blood sample or something, press a button and then get this optimized personalized vaccine the moment this happens.

This is spread all over.

It's a decentralized system.

That would be amazing, but baby steps.

That's a very different world than the one we're currently in.

It's a very good question.

I should clarify, yes, I'm not on that paper, so I will do my best to represent my colleagues' work.

But maybe you should get one of them also to talk about census screening in the future.

So, yeah, my understanding is the model, and it's all publicly available on the website, including sort of the underlying economic modeling and all the assumptions that the team put in.

So anyone can go and check.

But the model assumes only a very small proportion of all the sequences that the world might order, that companies and academics around the world order.
