AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine passes first human trial
www.sciencedaily.com
Scientists have successfully tested an AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine in humans for the first time, finding it to be safe and well tolerated. The vaccine generated immune responses against multiple coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, and related bat viruses with pandemic potential. By targeting features shared across an entire virus family, it aims to provide protection even as viruses evolve.

The whole idea of putting something in your body that AI came up with is unnerving, but this microfluid jet stream method of injection is kind of blowing my mind.

    I wouldn’t say nobody uses it. In the nineties we had the option to take a vaccine (don’t know which one. DPT? variola?) through that pistol thing or a regular needle. That thing hurts more, and leaves a bigger mark/scar than the needle. But it’s faster as vaccination teams don’t need to spend time discarding sharps. It was a stream of crying kids returning to class.
