The article either downplays or obscures the rejection of her initial research by the academic community and merely mentions in just a few words that she had trouble finding grants. There’s a lot more to say about her travails as she worked against the tide of the status quo, as seen in the 2021 NYT piece and in comments by others, such as Jonathan Howard at NYU. More should be said about her struggle and adversity to bring this research into reality. Viriditas ( talk) 08:12, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
I sincerely hope she told the University of Pennsylvania to go straight to hell.
This page doesn't give Kariko enough credit. It reads as if she is merely the co-worker of Weissman. But she is the one how pushed this topic hard over many years before Weissman would help her with his resources. This effort deserves more highlighting. Suspekt ( talk) 11:13, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
We list her in the infobox as Hungarian and American, but I see nothing in the body of the article supporting the American, and have been unable to find a source saying that she became an American citizen. If there isn't such a source, "American" needs to be removed from the infobox. Yngvadottir ( talk) 22:18, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
There has been a lot of information in the news about the attempt by her advisor, Robert Sudhadolnik, attempting to have Karikó deported after "his protégé" accepted an offer to work in another research lab at Johns Hopkins University. Then, JHU rescinded her job offer so as not to get tied up in a legal case or deportation proceedings. ... and it was apparently quite iffy if she would be allowed to contnue to work as a researcher in the US in this field. This seems like it should be included in this encyclopedic article on Karikó.
Let's add sources and descriptions here, and we can write a good paragraph to add once we have several reliable secondary sources on the matter. — N2e ( talk) 17:23, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Done — have updated the article prose with the sources and much of the prose originally written by DragonflySixtyseven in the new Robert J. Suhadolnik article. N2e ( talk) 23:41, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
The messenger RNA-based technology developed by Karikó and the two most effective vaccines based on it, BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna, have formed the basis for the effective and successful fight against SARS-CoV-2 virus worldwide...

I started trying to edit it, but the correct fix isn't completely obvious, so I set down these thoughts to let it percolate. -- Trovatore ( talk) 20:04, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
