In the realm of medical advancements, a universal vaccine that can protect against any pathogen has long been a Holy Grail—and about as elusive as a mythological vessel. But Stanford Medicine researchers and collaborators have taken an astonishing step forward in that quest, surprising even themselves.
It is not actually a vaccine. It just puts your immune system in high alert.
If this was beneficial on the long run, evolution would have reached this point long ago and kept the immune system on this level on its own. The simple fact that it does not tells me that there are probably disadvantages that outweight the benefits.
My guess is that this stuff also raises autoimmune issues and allergies.
This is massively over hyped. If they chronically activate immunity signaling pathways, eventually receptors will shut down and even natural immunity will be inactive. Stanford loves to hype a mouse experiment.
that’s not how evolution works
Evolution tests many paths and takes the one that benefits the species in the long run. Simply by the better equipped producing more viable offspring.
An immune system on permanent alert probably makes autoimmune problems worse, and may exhaust all kinds of resources. Both would have to be balanced with the benefit of not having a runny nose.
I believe you are mistaken, as there is a demonstrated reduction in allergic asthma. Please read the paper, it’s fascinating!
It’s the same effect as taking allergen injections to reduce the allergic response. This is not vaccine, it is an immune activator.
Can you define for me the difference in your thinking between vaccine and immune activator?
It’s not “my thinking” , it’s the science. Vaccines mount an immune response leading to a long term training of T and B cells to mount a fast response when the real virus is encountered. 24/7, for months, years and even lifetime.
This drug signals an immune response, in the presense of drug only. So, you need to know you are in a risk situation, or take it all the time, with will eventualy destroy the receptors and cause and innability to mount any response.
This is a preliminary mouse experiment.
Yes, the disadvantage of the immune system on high alert is allergies
and chronic inflammation, i believe?
