Oh shut up.

I paid for my vaccine with the $150-200 of electricity I burned on Folding@Home for a year, as did several million other people. I'll toss you a lmgtfy link if you need help finding exact user numbers, and we can crowdfund you a pocket calculator if you need to know how much public investment in R&D that equates to.

What did you contribute?

Folding at home have not contributed to the mRNA vaccines. It's a completely different area.

Me? My code was likely used in Illumina sequencers used to investigate the virus.
