Headline is a bit funky calling it "Covid-19 vaccine's tech", since this tech has been studied and tested for many other applications.

It seems backwards... Covid-19 vaccine is an instance of this technology, the technology is not a derivative of what they did in Covid-19 vaccine.

Casually backwards but the audience can relate better this way.
Well, Covid is what made the technologies breach the apply to humans threshold. Could have taken ages otherwise, because the testing procedures create quite a bit of conservative bias (and I don't blame them)
