I have no idea why they think a vaccine against EBV glycoproteins will impact MS in people who have already developed it. I’ll be astonished (and delighted) if it is effective. But as a prevention against MS (where mono incidence is a measure of efficacy in a trial) I think this study is important.

This has prompted me to look up Babylon 5 lego - there is a fan build instructions for a Starfury that looks awesome. Just need time to figure out how to order the specific bricks. Sadly no Ivanova minifig though.

I don’t think he specified unvaccinated children. Or advocated endemicity, but regarded it as inevitably the only realistic end to the pandemic. Which was not wrong (given the number of govts unwilling to take the steps required to suppress it and the prevalence in animals).

No, but I might if Trump continues floccinaucinihilipilifying the US economy.

Statistically, fewer applications for the same pot of money means higher paylines. Whether that matches reality is a different matter.
