I think you may be interested in learning about Homebrew Medicine or Open Source Medicine. I’ve never looked too deeply into it, but I remember reading a few years ago that somebody got fed up with the healthcare system as it stands and decided to research the very path you seem to be eyeballing. If memory serves, anybody with half a clue can make rather a lot of medicines with a fairly modest investment in equipment. The hard part is doing it with replicable safety. I think somebody had recipes for making insulin and birth control pills of some kind, and probably lots more besides.
I’ve personally looked into DIYing modafinil. The process itself actually seems pretty straightforward organic chemistry—all the reagents are available online, and the synthesis is clearly described in patent filings. I also found that the hardest part would be “what quality assurance steps are typically used?”.
But that’s just chemistry, and while my knowledge of the subject is shaky I can get by going slowly and looking things up. Vaccines and biology feels like a much scarier black box, amounting to “something something mRNA???”, but I’d guess it’s probably much more achievable than the average person would guess.
Don’t do this in the USA, modafinil is a schedule IV controlled substance. Manufacturing a controlled substance requires a license, and a bunch of other stuff. Use requires a prescription.
If busted, you’d probably be the only ‘modafinil lab’ the local cops have seen, and it’s anyones guess whether the judge and prosecutors treat it like a meth lab or ignore you like a weed farm in a legal state.
Obviously this isn’t legal advice, but I’d be unsurprised if making your own modafinil and using it would be treated like a felony akin to making your own DMT or meth and using it (‘officer I was making that meth for personal use!’ is hilarious, but I doubt a lawyer would let you try it in court). Since you’re posting about this on a forum, it’s probably safe for you to assume that you wouldn’t avoid scrutiny from the law...so yeah, while I definitely feel what you’re proposing in principle (why do I need a medical mafia member and the pharma-industrial complex between me and my nootropics????), you’d probably be taking a legal risk you don’t need. Idk what the law is outside the US, but I’d assume it isn’t sane
