Looks like the end to a long series of tests and complicated problems that needed to be solved.

I'm approaching this one skeptically, but the article describes it as a fairly well documented and historic science spanning back to the 1960s, so I'll be skeptically optimistic.

After the US pulled a covid vaccine out of its ass in less than a year, I can believe that we'll cure the common cold in the next decade.

For parents of infants, RSV is scary as fuck and this is great news.

We had a medication that cured the common cold. Picornavir. Problem was it caused aplastic anemia.

But, that can be cured with injections of erythropoietin! However, that causes polycythaemia...

Shouldn't you be at book burning or something?

I don't personally trust the Covid vaccines. They were rushed out in a time of crisis when regulations and requirements were relaxed to quell a panicking world population. I need more transparent and nonbiased testing before I can trust it.

With that in mind, properly tested and regulated vaccines like these ones, polio, flu, etc are fucking great. RSV is fucking terrifying for parents. Watching your kid struggle to breath is a miserable experience. If giving them a properly tested and administered vaccine will help less parents have to experience that then I am all for it.

No im too busy getting $$$$ off government mandated products

RSV is only terrifying because of lockdowns. Had there been no lockdowns there would be no increase in symptomatic RSV…RSV is 100% collateral damage from covid policy. The fact that the good old boys at moderna will release and lobby for the mandating of a product to fix a problem caused by their last policy intrusions just shows how ruthless and effective they are

Which is treated by bleeding patients… until they eventually die.

But that's easily treated with cryonic preservation. But, unfortunately resurrection requires nanobots and an unlikely utopian future society.

Or…. Some cleverly programmed artificial bacterial robots.

Look, if you aren't going to let me balance his humors what am I even doing here?

The US, and many others, had been pulling mRNA vaccine technology out of their collective asses for decades, and testing the living shit out of it along the way.

The idea that the COVID vaccine just appeared out of nowhere is an easy conclusion to make because this work was not widely known in the general public. Then a bunch of con artists amplified that sentiment to retain their waning power.

It was more a situation of;

Science/Pharma: We've been researching this new type of vaccine that will be a game-changer for all sorts of diseases and we've just about got it figured out, then we can tell everyone about it.

CDC/FDA: 95% is good enough for this new disease 'cause it is wrecking shit and we have no idea how bad it will get if we do nothing.

Science/Pharma: Shit, yeah that's bad. We plugged the new disease's DNA into our thing and it made this vaccine, here you go.

Since the common cold and COVID are more-or-less cousins, I'm also holding out hope that we cure the common cold in the next decade. Or at least keep it so well contained that most of us don't even think about it anymore.

Edit: fixed a small but important word.

That’s what creating policy based on fear gets you, children had a 0.003% chance of dying from Covid, and those that did all had underlying health conditions. But instead of following the science we forced them to wear masks and separate them from classmates. And now we are finding out in a recent study in Israel that 16% of males who took the vaccine are getting myocarditis.

Science leaves room for debate, skepticism and argument, but this has become an ideology of absolutism that doesn’t allow for dissent, and that’s now how science works.

Leeches are the only way to go.

That is amazingly awful, well done.

No. There was a 16-25% increase in emergency calls for myocarditis in males, not that 16% of males developed this extremely rare disease.

Further, additional recent studies have found that COVID does much more damage to young heart tissue than any vaccine, making the vaccine much safer than the risk of COVID. https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/08/22/covid-19-infection-poses-higher-risk-for-myocarditis-than-vaccines#:~:text=During%20the%20one%2Dyear%20study,hospitalized%20or%20died%20with%20myocarditis.
