What they’ve found, from the article, and abstract (alas I didn’t see any links to full text paper, which may come available after the ACS Spring 2025 meeting), is that they indeed do get an effective broad based immune response against coronaviruses. The ‘sugar stripping agent’ process is used in the production of the immunogen (basically a glycan stripped version of the more highly conserved spike protein that occurs in all/ many/ a lot of coronaviruses, i.e. which cause common cold, MERS, and COVID19), such that a broad based immune response is evoked when applying it, some time after the sugars (glycans) have already been stripped. Remember the spike is the consistent (conserved) part, and the glycans are the camouflage bits. Researchers have been trying to come up with something based on the spike protein for some time, and this is the sort of breakthrough that they’ve been working towards. Doubtless more info will be available after the research has been officially presented, March 23-27. (https://www.acs.org/meetings/acs-meetings/spring.html) So it’s literally happening now. And may show up on Chi-Huey Wong’s google scholar page (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=GQLirSoAAAAJ) or at Scripps/Sinica (https://www.genomics.sinica.edu.tw/chihueywong/)

I would estimate that as Most Fortunate.

Frankly, it’s an upper class/ lower class situation. Welsh people, historically just couldn’t afford vowels. ;-)

Russia proved it by continuing the bombing.

Most Excellent! I’d love to come visit Your Country sometime soon.

A whole rasher of shit these days, ships anchor dragging comm. cables, all sorts of things. While everyone besides putty scratches their head and wonders why things got so cray cray all of a not so sudden.

Yep.

Thanks to Greenland, a voice of sanity, in response to the muttered burblings of a demented turnip. In me you will find yet another US citizen that agrees with you, and respects your soveriegnty. The turnip is using this distraction to rob us blind, I fear.

Let me guess, natural resources.

True Hero!

You probably didn’t know that TB stands for Trumpberculosis. Maybe it didn’t before, but moving forward all of the new TB cases should be thought of as stemming from his decision.

Yep, it’s treason. And it’s not just one guy.

Def. not. You’se or you’s is North Easter afaik. I mixed them for rhetorical effect, which as you can see worked quite well.

For my Canadian friends, and soon to be friends, thank you for doing what you can during this trying period in our relationship. I didn’t vote for this shitshow, and am doing what I can from South of the Border. We’ll get together for some poutine, and green chili when things settle down a bit. K? Love YOU ALL!

Acshually, that’s Y’all, a contraction for You’se All.

He’s already shat in the water.

Indeed, that’s not how tariffs work. smh.

I like your thinking! I’ve got a mountain, you know, just pointing a finger over there.

It’s a small thing, and at least please know that you have allies and sympathetic minds here on Fedi.
