Vaccine breakthrough means no more chasing strains

  Super interesting! I’m going to file this under “hope it’s true, will wait for testing/confirmation because the claims are amazing”.

  Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.

  As it is, the first time this was posted, biologists and pharmacists discussed the merits of the claims and came to the conclusion that this was unlikely to be real.

  Specifically the approach would probably be thwarted the second time you attempted to use this method because your immune system would attack the vaccine.

  The discussion also pointed out that this was why the second dose of Astrazeneca during the COVID pandemic was less effective.

  Disclaimer: I’m not a medical professional and don’t pretend to be one online. I’m reciting from memory. YMMV.

  Note that some studies show nine mouse days are roughly equivalent to one human year.

  Excuse me?

    Basically mice procrastinate much less than people.

    Given the position of this statement in the article, I’m guessing they are trying to imply a correlation in rate of aging. Like 1 dog year = 7 human years. They are further implying that if a mouse maintains immunity for 90 days, a human would maintain immunity for 10 years.

    It should be clear that it is the reporter stating this, not the original authors of the study.

      I’m no cell biologist but I don’t think immunity works that way. I don’t know enough to dispute it though.

  I don’t vaccinate, and that is enough to get downvoted. :)

    Luckily for you, there’s not a vaccine for stupidity.

      Yes there is, it’s just also made of toxic chemicals and increasing in price lately.

    You’re getting down voted because your post doesn’t meaningfully contribute.
