Vaccine breakthrough means no more chasing strains
Vaccine breakthrough means no more chasing strains
Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.
Super interesting! I'm going to file this under "hope it's true, will wait for testing/confirmation because the claims are amazing".
67Note that some studies show nine mouse days are roughly equivalent to one human year.
Excuse me?
12Basically mice procrastinate much less than people.
14Given 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 thought the thumbnail was a Smurf hand holding a crackpipe... I think I need to get more sleep.

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.

Link please? Kinda feel like I shouldn't have had to ask for that based on how you chose to begin your comment but here we are.

I don't vaccinate, and that is enough to get downvoted. :)
-103Congratulations.
34Too bad that dumbass was vaccinated as an infant

Don't procreate.
17Luckily for you, there's not a vaccine for stupidity.
16Yes there is, it's just also made of toxic chemicals and increasing in price lately.

So what do you know that literally all the scientists in the world don't?
