Editorial: Building public confidence in innovative mRNA vaccines
Bibliographic record
Abstract
When we began work on this series some two years ago, we were acutely aware of a hardening 14 minority of global public opposition to vaccination. We did not, however, imagine that over the 15 intervening months, vaccination in general, and mRNA vaccines in particular, would escalate into a 16 political wedge issue that threatens to undermine the foundational role of immunization in public 17 health. 18Building public confidence in vaccines in general, and mRNA vaccines in particular, is more 19 important now than ever. The rapid development and launch of COVID-19 vaccines was estimated to 20 have saved over 14.4 million lives within the first year of their availability (

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
