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 was reading a scientific paper on Jet Injection and noticed that part :

    Subsequent bench studies of it and the more common Ped-O-Jet® indicated that their nozzles could become contaminated with hepatitis B virus and pose a risk for transmission

    Ped-O-Jet®

    Did they seriously choose that name for their product? Was that an Epstein business? WTF.

    For anyone interested here is the full study I was reading and is very interesting :

      Pediatrics, Pedialite, and pedophile all share the same Greek root pais meaning “child”. The Ped-O-Jet was developed and named in the 1960s, decades before pedophiles became so prominent in our cultural consciousness.

      Back then nobody would bat an eye at that name.
