This sure sounds like an amazing breakthrough, RNA based vaccine that works on "all strains" of a virus and can be administered with a nasal spray...
Would be pretty amazing to not have to go get a shot annually, just a quick nose spray once and be done.
Most promises in medical news, much like energy news, never pan out.
Here's to hoping though.
In medicine, finding out what doesn't work is nearly as valuable as finding what does. Because finding out why it doesn't work can lead to you the solution and perhaps even solutions for things you weren't even looking for.
Yet another reason for journals to have a negative results publication.
Sometimes, sure. Most of the time, though, it's more akin to: "Worked on isolated cells in vitro, but doesn't approach target cells in vivo due to ECM."
Ya. Until the kooks decide Bill Gates is resting to install AI in our heads through our noses. …or some such bullshit.
"yah, mom, look I heard right here on Lemmy, Bill Gates is making a nose spray to turn us into robots"
Gay robots.
Can I meet some?
Gay frog robots.
I used windows once, and if you checked inside my head you'd find a neural network.
Apparently people can’t read and for some reason decided that you’re anti vax.
You realize that they don’t believe that and are talking about anti vaxxers? People are being very obtuse and uncharitable.
Without sarcasm marks or intonation it’s hard to tell the difference between someone pretending to be an idiot and the real deal.
I’m afraid that this was obvious. People came in wanting to be angry.
Obvious to you. I saw it at work where it would be less of an escalation than I wish it would be to my coworkers’ idiocy.
I wonder if the lack of a needle suddenly makes some anti-vaxxers less...whatever they are.
Probably not. At least anecdotally, my anti-vax mom is just as opposed to regular shots as nasal sprays, if not more.
