Local university scientists banded together in search of ‘ultimate’ COVID vaccine — and they may have found it

A new innovative COVID-19 vaccine developed by scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as other local universities could act against current and future variants.

Researchers used an artificial intelligence system to sort through “a vast number” of compounds to identify 30 that would work well against COVID-19, according to lead author David Gifford, in a report published last week in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Immunology.

Gifford, a professor at MIT teaching computer science and biological engineering, spoke to The Boston Globe about his work.

Scientists at Boston University, Tufts University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the University of Texas collaborated with MIT on the new vaccine, according to the Globe.

In tests done on mice infected with COVID-19, all mice given the new vaccine survived, while 80 percent of mice not given the vaccine died, according to Gifford.

This vaccine differs from the others currently on the market due to the portion of the virus being targeted, according to the Globe. Moderna’s and Pfizer’s vaccines teach the human body to recognize and fight off the spike protein cells found on the virus. As the virus evolves, these can change.

However, this new vaccine produced by the Canadian company Acuitas Therapeutics targets a different area of the virus, less prone to change or variants, according to the Globe.

A vaccine for the Flu….WOW!!!!

Sadly, so many, mostly liberals/hipsters/democrats, still believe this nonsense.

My nephew has a pilot buddy that routinely flies to Mexico. He gets Ivermectin every trip.

“… while 80 percent of mice not given the vaccine died,”

That sounds fishy, unless this is a new, improved version of the WuFlu.

An 80 percent death rate…. That has never been the case. So either that have bumped the virus using hyperviralization aka gain of function. Or the mice were already on death’s doorstep.
Obama defunded hyperviralization in the US as “dangerous… or maybe so they could whip up the end of useless eaters without oversight.
I know very very few people who have not had covid.. certainly 80% did not die.
That excludes this miracle as another outright lie. But, man imagine the tax dollars they received to do it.

WHat, labs are developing ever more potent lethal viruses in violation of all US law and International treaties on Biological WARFARE.
I'M SHOCKED, SHOCKED I SAY....

The vaccine was discovered and identified over a year ago, and named. It’s called “Omicron”.

Gosh, we’re all saved now- they found a vaccine for a virus that is nearly 100% survivable!

I am wondering why 80% of the unvaxxed mice died from a bioagent with a human mortality rate of less than 1%….

..all mice given the new vaccine survived, while 80 percent of mice not given the vaccine died, according to Gifford.

I'm surprised they didn't use human 'volunteer' guinea pigs.

WHY? There are about 80 peer reviewed studies demonstrating Ivermectin has an 84% efficacy in treating the Fauci Flu

One should note the phrase, "...act against current and future variants."

This is the IDENTICAL assertion that buying into a variety of climate change schemes will solve the "future" problem. It is also the same argument as the "equity" schemes proposing to answer social issues in the "future." Spending today, through grants and costly projects, will "act against" future problems, Ha! ha ha! And where's the money? Where are the grants? The investors? Money.... Not in the future. Now.

HCQ:

Early treatment [with hydroxychloroquin (HCQ)]shows 62% [52‑70%] improvement with pooled effects in the 36 early treatment studies. Results are similar after exclusion based sensitivity analysis and after restriction to peer-reviewed studies. The 15 mortality results shows 72% [57‑81%] lower mortality, and the 15 hospitalization results shows 41% [28‑52%] improvement.

Ivermectin for COVID-19 95 studies from 1,023 scientists, 134,554 patients in 27 countries. Statistically significant improvement for mortality, ventilation, ICU, hospitalization, recovery, cases, and viral clearance. 82%, 62%, 42% improvement for prophylaxis, early, and late treatment CI [73-88%], [51-70%], [27-54%]

54% improvement in 45 RCTs CI [39-65%] [RCT = randomized controlled studies]  51% lower mortality from 48 studies CI [37-62%]

Vitamin D vs COVID 19
•Statistically significant improvements are seen in treatment studies for mortality, ICU admission, hospitalization, and cases. 55 studies from 51 independent teams in 20 different countries show statistically significant improvements in isolation (39 for the most serious outcome). •Random effects meta-analysis with pooled effects using the most serious outcome reported shows 60% [40‑74%] and 37% [31‑43%] improvement for early treatment and for all studies. Results are similar after restriction to 99 peer-reviewed studies: 57% [36‑71%] and 37% [31‑43%], and for the 59 mortality results: 68% [39‑84%] and 37% [28‑44%]. •Late stage treatment with calcifediol/calcitriol shows greater improvement compared to cholecalciferol: 73% [57‑83%] vs. 42% [28‑53%]. •Sufficiency studies show a strong association between vitamin D sufficiency and outcomes. Meta analysis of the 150 studies using the most serious outcome reported shows 54% [50‑58%] improvement.

Most of these studies NOT performed in North America or UK. In the US, Canada, the UK etc most studies on dangerous medications that in the end did not show much or any benefit (with the exception of steroids - something we knew previously!). So much important knowledge kept from the ordinary non-medical person, by social media, MSM, medical professional boards, and governmental health agencies. It is not the first time in the history of medicine, but the scandal is not less because it has happened before.
