The organization will fund vaccines, broad-spectrum antiviral approaches, and large-scale air-cleaning technologies. Inspired by COVID-19 vaccine development, Intercept's scientific advisers believe modern tools like RNA drugs, computational protein design, and engineered virus-trapping proteins make it technically feasible to counter many viruses simultaneously. The initiative mirrors Stripe's earlier Frontier carbon removal program, targeting problems that are technically solvable but lack commercial incentives. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
