    Except you supercharge the mutation of the disease as well, so its a rinse and repeat cycle.

      Sometimes the nody heals though slowly, for me it took a first 6-9 months to get over the worst, and I'm way better today.

        Finally, someone speaking actual biology instead of paranoid rants. Impressive grasp of glycosylation and conserved epitope exposure - you've clearly done your reading beyond headlines. The sugar-stripping approach is ingenious precisely because it targets what viruses try to hide. Current research trajectory looks promising but I'll wait for peer-reviewed publications after that ACS meeting before joining the hype train.

        Does the sugar stripping affect any other bodily functions? Stripping is temporary but it still may have permanent effects for some existing conditions.

        Does a coronavirus need to be introduced at the same time sugars are stripped or is it assumed that there are already many in the body?

          I'm not a biologist, so forgive me for being a complete layperson about this - but to check my understanding, this means that the material in the vaccine itself ('immunogen') has had the sugar stripped, correct? In other words, if we think of the sugar as "armour" on the virus, the vaccine isn't injecting some sort of armor removing enzyme, it's sending "armourless training dummies" into your body that THEY used an enzyme on, so your immune cells can prepare to hit their "vital organs"?

          Reading the abstract itself it was a bit hard to parse, but we do try!

                  The virus that causes chicken pox, lies dormant in your nervous system, where your immune system can’t get it, for decades. Then much later in life the virus can reactivate, infect along those nerves, causing shingles.

                  This is the important part of the chicken pox vaccination the we don’t talk about nearly enough.

                  • If you get chicken pox, you’ll probably be ok (although not everyone is) and get over it, becoming immune. But the virus will still lurk, opening you to shingles attacks when you’re much older
                  • if you get the vaccination, you’ll probably not only not get chicken pox, but will also not get shingles

                  If you have older relatives and friends (50+), do remind them that we have shingles vaccine: Shingrix.

                      Ok, you're missing a bit here. The "sugar stripping" happens in the lab, during the production of the immunogen, which would then later applied as a vaccine. From there the vaccine induces a response from the immune system, creating antibodies which are specific to the highly conserved part of the stalk structures on corona viruses. As a result one's immune system is prepared for when a corona virus shows up at some point after the vaccination.

                        I wonder how this could help those with long COVID.

                        So I've read up a good bit on this topic / issue. Many times long covid can be a result of the infection causing neural damage which then leads to long term inflammation. While this isn't the only reason for it, doing a protocol to repair damaged neural tissue and receptors has been effective with people I know. It has reduced or removed the symptoms they experience.

                                And let them know it hurts for a few days, so get it on a Friday.

                                  This is a good point. I do tend to get my vaccine shots (Covid and flu) on Fridays to account for recovery days.

                                    Ah. Yes. I was thinking the sugar stripping happened in the body. So this more a vaccine enhancement tool.

                                          It includes the latest release, but it's the same one included on last year's flu vaccine.

                                          I think the devs may be quietly winding down support over the next few years.
