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.
In medicine, finding out what doesn’t work is nearly as valuable as finding what does. Because finding out why it doesn’t work can lead to you the solution and perhaps even solutions for things you weren’t even looking for.

Sometimes, sure. Most of the time, though, it’s more akin to: “Worked on isolated cells in vitro, but doesn’t approach target cells in vivo due to ECM.”
This sure sounds like an amazing breakthrough, RNA based vaccine that works on “all strains” of a virus and can be administered with a nasal spray…
Would be pretty amazing to not have to go get a shot annually, just a quick nose spray once and be done.
Ya. Until the kooks decide Bill Gates is resting to install AI in our heads through our noses. …or some such bullshit.
Apparently people can’t read and for some reason decided that you’re anti vax.
“yah, mom, look I heard right here on Lemmy, Bill Gates is making a nose spray to turn us into robots”
Gay robots.
Gay frog robots.
Can I meet some?

You realize that they don’t believe that and are talking about anti vaxxers? People are being very obtuse and uncharitable.
Without sarcasm marks or intonation it’s hard to tell the difference between someone pretending to be an idiot and the real deal.
I’m afraid that this was obvious. People came in wanting to be angry.
Obvious to you. I saw it at work where it would be less of an escalation than I wish it would be to my coworkers’ idiocy.
I used windows once, and if you checked inside my head you’d find a neural network.
Most promises in medical news, much like energy news, never pan out.
Here’s to hoping though.

Yet another reason for journals to have a negative results publication.

I wonder if the lack of a needle suddenly makes some anti-vaxxers less…whatever they are.
Probably not. At least anecdotally, my anti-vax mom is just as opposed to regular shots as nasal sprays, if not more.
