It doesn't matter that they both have a spike protein. Their spike proteins don't bind to the same types of receptors (ACE-2) the way same way. Did you just ignore all the articles I posted about the genetic differences between the two SARs viruses and other coronaviruses?
That's probably what you don't understand. You have a rigid idea of what science (and medicine) is. Science is ever changing, ever evolving. Science starts with hypotheses and observations and then it's tested with trials and studies. Sometimes the theories are right, sometimes they're wrong. In special times like these, you're not going to have the ideal clinical trials to rely on, especially with a disease like covid that we're still don't fully understand. Unfortunately for the severe cases, if they're close to dying, both the doctors and the patients going to be desperate to try something to save them. I'm just glad that the doctors and researchers out there are trying their best to find proper treatment for the disease and I hope they can find these treatments sooner than later.
You don't understand. If the spike proteins are dealt with, then there's nothing to bind to any receptor. It doesn't matter how many different types of locks there are if there are no keys.
I understand science. It does depend on accepting and rejecting a hypothesis based on the best data available. It's not about rejecting valid data because it disagrees with an anecdote you are emotionally invested in. That's not science.
But you're assuming the spike protein is exactly the same in all the coronaviruses.(a bunch of deleted stuff)Btw, what do you think of Dr. Fauci recommending Remdesivir as the standard of care now?
I ordered mine earlier this morning, Marvel pack!
For those who think the Disney parks will never open again, I give you.... Disney face masks!No, I'm not kidding. And some of them are very cute.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Most of that pack is meh, but the Hulk face is so cute! I wish you could mix and match designs from the different packs. Imagine Hulk face, Baby Yoda, Mike Wazowski and Stitch all in one pack...
If Remdesivir works it would be awesome. I would note the order of Fauci's statements. First and foremost he's happy about it as a proof of concept. That any drug has any effect at all. Second, he only says it works to shorten recovery. Recovery and mortality have not been determined to be significantly improved.And that's the takeaway from today. I don't think anyone thinks Remdesivir is the answer. We won't be ending social distancing because of it. It's not the end, it's the beginning. It's hope that something can work. It's hope that something else might work better.
If some people have a problem with traditional vaccines, I would think they would have a bigger problem with this vaccine. This is a new approach to vaccinations. Instead of injecting a dead or weaken virus to elicit an immune response, this is a mRNA vaccine. The vaccine is a bit of mRNA to have your own cells to make the spike protein to stimulate your immune system. Some people won't even eat GMO food. I'm not sure how happy they'll be to have some mRNA injected into them.
