@MeetThePress@CNN@ABC INVENT a good reason why not one of you or the rest of a failed Fourth Estate pointed out that in CA each of the more than 13 MILLION mail in ballots MUST be manually verified to confirm that the signature is correct. Meaning EVERY ballot is vetted by no less than two poll workers...
The kowtowing management, of @CBSNews@CBS, chasing a corporate deal, have lost sight of Walter Cronkite's admonishment.... "Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy."
@RFKjr_dm here... fuck: The vaccine making news right now is an AI-designed "universal" coronavirus vaccine that just passed its first human clinical trial. It was designed using an AI-powered platform developed at University of Cambridge spinout DIOSynVax, and the researchers say it's the first time a vaccine entirely designed using AI and computer simulations has been tested in humans.
A few key details:
The candidate is called pEVAC-PS. It's a DNA plasmid-based, needle-free vaccine developed using all available genetic sequence data from surveillance programs around the world relating to Sarbeco coronaviruses (the group that includes the COVID-19 virus), with the AI used to design a "super-antigen" containing features common to the whole group. The idea is that by targeting features shared across the entire virus family rather than one specific strain, it can provide protection even as viruses evolve, and it generated immune responses against multiple coronaviruses including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, and related bat viruses with pandemic potential.
On the trial itself: testing in 39 human volunteers showed the vaccine was safe, and it triggered immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 and SARS. The results were modest, though. The trial demonstrated immunogenicity that was "modest but variable," and the authors said that while pEVAC-PS hasn't shown broad or robust neutralising activity, the evidence of cross-reactive binding supports the design concept and the potential to develop next-generation shots with greater efficacy. The work was published in the Journal of Infection.
The framing the researchers emphasize is shifting vaccine development from reactive to proactive. The trial's chief investigator argued that this new class of universal vaccines is "future-proofed," protecting against many variants simultaneously and potentially against related viruses that haven't yet emerged, meaning that if developed before an outbreak begins, lives could be saved and lockdowns avoided.
A larger Phase 2 study is planned to evaluate immune responses in a broader, more diverse group and to confirm the vaccine's ability to generate strong, wide-ranging protection.
One note on the coverage: some outlets are running broad "world's first AI-designed vaccine" headlines, but the substance points specifically to this Cambridge/DIOSynVax sarbecovirus work. Want me to dig into how it compares to other AI-vaccine efforts (like MIT's or Evaxion's), or into the actual immunogenicity data?you dumb
@CBSMornings@CBSNews@CBS… You have lost sight of your responsibilities as a member of the Fourth Estate to this nation. You enjoy First Amendment protections far stronger than those of ordinary citizens precisely so you can hold power to account, not audition for it.
Therefore, as a viewer and voter who once trusted you to do that job, I’m done. I’ve fired @CBS.

@AliVelshi You KNOW @realDonaldTrump is fishing for a pretext to call this chaos and defer what comes next. And you handed him the shot — primetime anchor, volatile ICE perimeter, cops walking you off on camera. You think you're documenting the slide toward martial law. You're set-dressing it. This one's on your zeal, not the assignment.
@JamesMarshLaw explain why YOU aren't seeking the release of the far more damning Epstein Financial Files. @PamBondi purged the case files rendering them as useful as the used toilet paper...
OK, the @realDonaldTrump Situation Room ‘meeting’ on Iran is apparently over. The only real question now is how badly he managed to taco it this time—minor bend or full crunch?
@smerconish The @realDonaldTrump take on blackmail...
She’s coming after me for $83 million? Sad! Very unfair. So I do what any stable genius would do: My people at DOJ — the greatest, by the way — they find some crimes. Maybe. Who knows? Could be crimes. Then I pick up the phone: ‘Okay honey, you drop the money demand and maybe, just maybe, I talk to my AG and those witch hunt charges go poof. Gone. Like they never existed. You’re gonna love it. Everybody says so…
