BioNTech alone could lift German economy by 0.5% this year
BioNTech has a lot of potentially groundbreaking mRNA therapies in its pipeline, some of them against various forms of cancer.https://investors.biontech.de/news-releases/news-release-det...https://biontech.de/science/individualized-cancer-medicinehttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-03072-8I am really looking forward for such solutions, fuck cancer.That said, the economic impact of such cures isn't clear to me. If your population gains, on average, say, a year or two of life, the pay-as-you go pension systems that are already under strain in greying Europe will come under even bigger strain.So it seems that each discovery like that will be balanced by us working longer. Personally, I as a 42 y.o. in Czechia, do not expect to get any meaningful state pension ever. There will be just too many of us.
