Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of “universal” vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or bacterium, the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months. In mice, it slashed viral levels, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions.

“I think what we have is a universal vaccine against diverse respiratory threats,” Pulendran said.

      Funny joke from a petty bully. Chappelle loves to punch down too much for me to respect him more than anyone in the Trump admin.

        If you think Chappelle is worse or equivalent to the trump admin, that’s gonna be a tough sell…

          There are tons of articles out there about his jokes punching down at various groups, because it’s an ongoing problem and he just doubles down if anyone complains.

          And I never said he was as bad as anyone in the Trump admin, I just said I couldn’t respect him any more than them. He sits in a place of immense privilege and punches down at people who are struggling. He’s in the same company as them.
