Thread on testing & treatment research for COVID-19

Is the Oxford vaccine a mRNA type? IIRC, it’s not so not sure if this would translate to mRNA vaccines.

no, the Oxford vaccine (more commonly known as the AZ vaccine) is not an mRNA vaccine.

And would the J&J vaccine have similar characteristics? Would be great if they all did.

I didn't re-read the study, but I don't believe that the J&J vaccine was examined in the study.

Tom, noteworthy that you should post this, but SARS CoV - 2 isn’t the only virus that can do this to people.
My brother in law developed Type 1 diabetes after a bad Norovirus infection. Absolutely no familial history.

Same with myocarditis. People went nuts over it in covid patients, completely ignoring that many viruses can cause it. Then it turned out covid causes it no more often than any other virus

Ohio State University scientists say method for ‘tricking’ coronavirus could be used in nasal spray, disinfectant
Updated Feb 24, 2021; Posted Feb 24, 2021

The OSU scientists have designed protein fragments, called peptides, that mimic the receptors the coronavirus uses to cause an infection. The idea is to fool the virus into binding to the peptides before it reaches the human body.

Well if anything has come out of this whole Covid-19 year plus long pandemic, medically and scientifically speaking the world made a quantum leap in the understanding of virus's and how they effect the human body. If/When another virus comes along, hopefully we as a human species will be much farther along to combat it much quicker the next time around.

Reminds me of those mouth sprays that were popular for a while that were intended to trick the cop into thinking you didn't reek of alcohol.

Seriously though how would this work? Any time you come in contact with someone, you take a hit of this spray? Like some morning after pill?

So, either you have to use this all of the time or use it if you have just been exposed ?
