    Testing the vaccine wasn’t easy. One larvae-producing site in Florida was hit by a hurricane, “another was taken out by bears,” Swift said.

    Scientific proof that vaccines cause hurricanes and bears.


    This is the first time I’ve heard of a vaccine against bacterial infection.

      Never heard of vaccines against bacteria? Meningococcal vaccine? Diptheria vaccine? Tetanus vaccine? Typhoid vaccine? Surely heard of one of these

        Always associated vaccines with viruses. I guess i never really thought about it.

      It’s the same immune system that fights those off, too. There are many vaccines for bacterial infections, like cholera and typhoid. Intracellular bacteria don’t have many vaccines, but they exist too. I’m no doc though so if you want to know more, it’d be worth a search.

      First there were sharknados, now there are bearicanes. Where will it end?

    The unexpected effect is that the vaccine, made to help fight off a type of bacteria, also helps against a virus. So it was a better result than expected.

    Why the clickbait? Just put the unexpected effect in the title

    I wish we could get immunized via candy, might be fewer anti-vaxxers.

    I want a vaccine against bees and wasps. Not in nature; for me personally, so they leave me the hell alone.
