@RealIggyLibre @piersmorgan Americans really blame everything except guns for mass shootings huh

@john_r_t_mart @FootballReprt @piersmorgan I don‘t think school shootings qualify as an advance

Happy 70th birthday to the European flag 🇪🇺

Back in 1955, the Council of Europe reviewed more than 100 designs, and chose this one as the winner.

The 12 stars stand for completeness, not countries. The design was chosen so it wouldn’t change with borders or new members.

@camwg86 @kareem_carr What a shame, science could really use a method of cheap, accessible and functional gene therapy, it could be very useful to cure stuff like XLA. What a shame that anti-vaxxers won‘t share their secrets

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@MarkPatient @RAurora @kareem_carr I‘d suggest actually reading papers on the subject.

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@JasonCr70173537 @MarkPatient @RAurora @kareem_carr So one of those steps would require proliferation of mRNA (like a pathogen would do), which isn‘t done in any vaccine, or a concentration that isn‘t physically possible to administer in any scale. Besides, cell exhaustion would be larger issue than tissue damage in that case

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@camwg86 @kareem_carr Explain the concrete mechanism.

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@Boba_Ball_ @kareem_carr mRNA translates into a small harmless piece of a pathogen, which I expect all the anti-vaccine immunology experts to know

@USBornNRaised @kareem_carr Tell me, how do you intend to acquire "natural" immunity against Polio?

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@camwg86 @kareem_carr Explain exactly on how covid vaccines (I assume you mean mRNA vaccines, but know that they are whole-organism/peptide based vaccines too) act as gene therapies?

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@BedechReturns @kareem_carr … because triggering an immune response is the point? You need a B/T cell response to generate their respective memory cells, after all.

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@Bulletboy4201 @kareem_carr You‘re correct, vaccines have been effective for more than 80 years, which is why we continue to administer them, and are constantely researching new ways to use them more effectively and against different diseases

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@MarkPatient @RAurora @kareem_carr Please, tell us how the process of translation chamges the entire principle

@LibertyLover775 @DrNeilStone What

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@ErinArdell @DeaconRj @DrNeilStone What a shame, really looking forward to how antivaxx "science" looks. Anyways, for some proper reading, I recommend Janeway‘s Immunobiology, and Case Studies in Immunology as a companion with some real examples.

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@nealjwells @DebBrow16344984 @DrNeilStone Vaccines are preventative, not for acute treatment. You might be thinking of passive immunization / antibody transfer. But why resort to (expensive!) regular treatment when vaccines can prove better protection, at lower cost, with less side effects?

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@ErinArdell @DeaconRj @DrNeilStone Please, entertain me, and present your proposed model for how vaccines and immunological memory in general works.

[Blind Idiot God 👁️📼 @Kyvant1]

@ErinArdell @DeaconRj @DrNeilStone …brains? Where do you think a vaccine is applied?
