This would be amazing. I’m skeptical, though, because it narrows down vaccines to either live attenuated or inactive vaccines. Those are not exclusive. It doesn’t really make sense in that regard. And further, rna vaccines are known to have poorer in vivo performance, so the duration of immunity is a factor. Finally, it’s only been tested in mice and as indicated only provided immunity for 90 days against Nodurama in that trial.

@Flenflyys Excellent points...

A side note, those mice really piss me off, they're always first in the queue when it comes to medical stuff...

@Majorlatency and on another side note, I’m hoping they’ll finally bring that experiment with a piece of cheese surrounded by a huge maze to human trials.

@Flenflyys All true, but it's still a promising step forward.

@Flenflyys It might be more successful if the human trial is taco centric..
