If anyone deserves a Nobel for Physiology it's Svante Pääbo natural son of Nobel laureate Bergström.
Twitter replyfolk are pointing out the Nobel is for Physiology or Medicine and saying the RNA vaccine deserves it more. Other replyfolk are saying the jury is still out at best, which it's not-out for the discovery of the freakin' Denisovans. Then there's the tosh about "LGBT representation" which, I think, Pääbo would rather not the scientific-community consider. (He's "B" - if that.)
In all seriousness and with all due respect, Pääbo is about the most-deserving recipient of a biology-Nobel in my lifetime.
