VITN Blog Post #1: “Candidate for Universal Flu Vaccine Protects Against Multiple Strains in Preclinical Study”

Every fall, many people will flood to health clinics to get vaccinated against the annual flu. However, effectiveness of the flu vaccine varies from year to year, causing many people to become frustrated with the vaccination process. The influenza virus rapidly mutates because it is a single-stranded RNA virus, which has proved to be one of the hardest obstacles to overcome for scientists who work to create the annual vaccine against new strains. However, a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has recently published news of their work to create a universal flu vaccine. Theoretically, this vaccine would be more similar to other vaccines in that it is given in a series of shots throughout a person’s lifetime rather than once a year. This would hopefully provide stronger immunity against the flu.

Currently, the flu vaccine works by creating antibodies that detect proteins on influenza particles called hemagglutinin (HA) stalk. More specifically, the antibodies are formed in response to the “outermost ‘head’ region of the HA protein,” which has been hypothesized to be the region that causes mutates so rapidly. In contrast, this newly curated universal vaccine would work by directing its antibody response to the lower region of the HA proteins, a mechanism that would use mRNA molecules to synthesize HA-like proteins. So far, this new method has shown positive results but still needs to be tested through more clinical trials before commercializing the vaccine to the public, a process that could take quite some time. Nevertheless, efforts have already been made on animal models and will hopefully show the similar benefits in humans.

I want to give a testimony on how I got cured from Herpes Virus. Few months back I was having some symptoms . I went to see a doctor and many blood tests was done on me, later on I was told I had Herpes. My doctor told me that there’s no cure for Herpes I felt bad, I went online searching for a possible cure for Herpes virus, I saw a post of Dr. LUCKY  a herbal doctor that’s helping people get cured from HIV, HEPATITIS B, CANCER e.t.c. I contacted him and I told him how I’m feeling he said his herbal medicine can cure me. He sent me the medicine and I received the medicine some days after he sent it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him. Before the completion of the medication the symptoms stopped. I went to the doctor and carried out another blood test, surprisingly I was negative. I haven’t had any symptoms anymore. Dr. LUCKY  is great, and his herbal medicine has no side effects. You can reach him on his Email:  (drluckyherbalcure@gmail.com) or whatsApp him on +2348154637647

Yes, Herpes simplex Viruses and every other diseases such as HIV/AIDS, CANCER, PARALYSIS, HPV, FIBROIDS, INFERTILITY,(INFECTIONS), and every others are curable. Best known to my is with the use of Herbal Remedies. I have said it before and still saying it Again, being an HSV carrier or any other isn't a death sentence. living on drugs to survive. Can Hinder you from many activities I can never be part of that to hide the truth. To be honest with you reading me again, it will be so disastrous if the rate of increase of sickness still exist and nothing is done yet for the physician therapist to anouced thier cures.
