That would be game changing. “Despite all the advantages of mRNA, I’m concerned that our current DHHS has no or little interest in the science,” Hotez said. He’s being kind - Kennedy has active interest in pseudoscience.

minus-squareatzanteol@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoThere’s a part of the virus which doesn’t (or can’t?) mutate. There has been talk about creating a vaccine that allows the body to target that bit.
