but this is how Hollywood thinks science works. Major plague kills millions, we find one monkey and in two days everyone is fine. Usually some type of glowing green or blue liquid.

The cure for cancer is Mountain Dew Voltage, y'all.

    Totally, and then there's a liquid nitrogen container preserving the single existing vial, which is so sensitive and fragile you have to pull it out of the container reeeeeal slow.

    I just wanna say the vaccines developed for COVID-19 were kind of as close to sci-fi as we will ever get. Global pandemic, brilliant minds develop a cool way to defend us from it, roll out the most audacious testing on a higher amount of people in record time, transport the vials in liquid nitrogen fridges because they were temperature sensitive. It was pretty darn close to all the stuff mentioned in this thread which is both kind of hilarious and cool at the same time.
