I have no idea if anything about this can be found in English-language media but thought I'd share anyway. Katalin Karikó is one of the researchers (the other being Drew Weissman) who have just received the Nobel Prize for the development of the mRNA covid vaccines. She gave an interview in Hungarian yesterday, where she also talked about her current work.
She says she is working on a disease that currently has "no solution at all". She says she believes she may understand it based on all the knowledge she has gained (presumably while working on the mRNA vaccines). She says this is why she left BioNTech last year.
She also says she doesn't want to say which disease it is as when she did so in the past with other diseases, people with the disease got super excited. She doesn't want to give false hope and she will say something when she actually has something to say about it.
This can literally be any poorly understood disease and she gave no indication that it is long covid or similar. I just thought it was interesting and decided to put it out here. I doubt it is anything about "post-vaccination syndrome" because I remember from another recent interview that she was kind of dismissive about health issues attributed to the vaccine (apart from the well-known ones).
