I don't pay attention to Twitter too much, but this was a headline in an email from them, so I had to check it out.
After I just posted about a vaccine probably being 18 months to two years away, this pops up.
It sounds like a vaccine, but they don't say vaccine and pretty much make it sound like a treatment, which, if it stops the coronavirus from infecting other cells, why wouldn't they just inject everyone before they get the coronavirus and use it as a vaccine?
I haven't checked out Yahoo! or any news sites today, so is this being reported anywhere else?
Vaccines are technically dead versions of viruses that trigger similar immune responses as live ones, thus giving the vaccinated subject an immunity. That's how I've always understood it. If it's not using that method, then it's a treatment and not a vaccine.
