Scientists at UC Riverside have demonstrated a new, RNA-based vaccine strategy that is effective against any strain of a virus and can be used safely even by babies or the immunocompromised.  Every year, researchers try to predict the four influenza strains that are most likely to be prevalent during the upcoming flu season. And every year, people line up to get their updated vaccine, hoping the researchers formulated the shot correctly. The same is true of COVID vaccines, which have been reformulated to target sub-variants of the most prevalent strains circulating in the U.S. This new strategy would eliminate the need to create all these different shots, because it targets a part of the viral genome that is common to all strains of a virus. The vaccine, how it works, and a demonstration of its efficacy in mice is described in a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  “What I want to emphasize about this vaccine strategy is that it is broad,” said UCR virologist and paper author Rong Hai. “It is broadly applicable to any number of viruses, broadly effective against any variant of a virus, and safe for a broad spectrum of people. This could be the universal vaccine that we have been looking for.”

fyi I think there were posts circulating about this before but in case anyone didn’t see it: since the Cinnamon Roll colab starts today, remember that Sanrio is a recent brand targeted by the boycott and divest movement against Israel for Palestinians.

So before you think about buying any Cinnamon Roll IAPs (which btw are ludicrously overpriced to begin with for a bunch of pixels and polygon cosmetics ultimately) - think about whether or not you really want to support a brand that’s ok colluding with an apartheid state literally killing Palestinian civilian populations and is at the forefront of college protests in the US and across the world right now … pretending behind it’s soft cute branding that “it’s business as usual” even as genocide continues against literal women and children
