Could a "universal vaccine" protect us from future virus outbreaks? 🦠

A Cambridge team has developed an entirely new way of making vaccines. Using data from virus surveillance programmes around the world, they used AI to design a ‘super antigen’.

This can create a single vaccine that provides lasting protection against a broad range of viruses - like the Ebola or coronavirus group - even as they mutate into new variants.

The results of the first human clinical trial of this technology found it is safe and well tolerated.

This could prevent future pandemics before they even begin.

@frmlss @useless_priest The alternative was always an option, Myalgic Encephalopathy. Drs still use malaria. Ultimately most UK patients prefer any name to Chronic Fatigue syndrome

Started with #EBV. There needs to be a huge injection of funding into what EBV is doing ( apart from MS, Lupus, RA…)
What are the chances that this isn’t another autoimmune thing ? 😔

You are pushing a false narrative that is not based in science. Please read my paper to educate yourself on these disorders. In summary, "they cannot move forward" because patient care and therapeutics did not move forward. It's not on "them," it's on "us." Read my paper.

@implausibleblog “What is he talking about?”

[Líse McNally @LiseMcNally]

"To not introduce this would be unbelievably cruel"

In PMQs, Sir Keir Starmer is asked when his Government will respond to the Hughes Report.

Published more than 2 years ago, it set out how a compensation scheme could be set up for victims of sodium valproate and pelvic mesh:

When the misnomer Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is continually tagged on at the end of ME/CFS, it’s akin to if MS was now called MS/Hysteria which would be an horrific thing to do. To keep using an old & minimizing term such as CFS continues a permission standard to minimize ME.
