The sheer brute force innovation – as well as pretty much the brain trust of the entire planet – being dedicated to developing a vaccine for COVID-19 led to some very serious advancements.
There was a journal article shortly after the introduction of one of the widely used COVID-19 vaccines (mRNA based) that suggested the technology advanced/developed for that vaccine could be applied to something just like this.
This is still in the clinical stage, but Universal vaccines that are long lasting would be an absolute game changer.
I’ve got some stock in a little company called Theranos to sell you…

What about instead of calling it a vaccine, we call it panacea. Conservatives like old things including words

Human trials 1-2 years away, but it’s still cool to see.

Does it work against herpes and should I stock up on a supply of Cameronium?

The whole article is an excellent read but for the lazy like me, here is the important excerpt:
“In previous work, researchers learned why a common tuberculosis vaccine induced a surprisingly long-lasting innate response. It turns out that T cells – part of the adaptive response – were rallying innate immune cells and keeping them active for several months.
After isolating the T cells’ critical signals, the team has now found that they can mimic their call-to-arms synthetically to keep the innate immunity going long after it normally would and help bestow a kind of universal immunity.”

Why does everything need to be called a vaccine? You think they would’ve learned after Covid how divisive that word is especially when the results don’t match the traditional definition. With the same loose definition you can call laundry detergent a vaccine.

I’d take this even if it 100% gave me autism and a 5G mind control chip

It’ll only cost you $12k to get it

Ok watch this just fade away after a very powerful NyQuil consortium gets involved.

I would unironically rather keep getting injections for every single analyte/drug/virus over using a nasal spray

I’d literally rather get stabbed for every single virus rather than do a nasal spray.

Another vaccine? This will go over well….
Needle bad. Snorting things good.
Mouth breathers lose out again.
Inb4 RFK Jr. declares this causes super autism.

Ironically, you have COVID-19 to thank for this.

**Edit:** For example, here is an interesting article on [universal CANCER vaccines.](https://ufhealth.org/news/2025/surprising-finding-could-pave-way-for-universal-cancer-vaccine). A world without cancer. Really mind blowing.
You can also just super glue your nostrils shut
