“In this scenario, vaccination might not be required. However, the current vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 will play a role in how fast the virus becomes endemic, especially if they induce short-lived immunity but reduce the severity of disease upon reinfection.”

“Personalized mRNA vaccines based on mutations found in an individual tumor. For a personalized cancer vaccine, researchers can sequence a tumor, identify candidate mutations that may be visible to the immune system, and design an mRNA construct encoding selected targets.”

“Furthermore, the gut microbial composition of the mice was changed to a more favorable makeup, and the mice were protected against mucosal penetration, experimentally-induced colitis, and the negative effects of diet-induced obesity.”

“Cells could be programmed to behave and function as they ordinarily would but with profound differences in their underlying code and translation apparatus, making them immune to all viruses and even horizontal gene transfer – a boon to preventing the unintentional spread of lab-produced genetics to wild-type organisms.”

“Many different influenza viruses exist, and they undergo constant change, necessitating regular changes to influenza vaccines. Some of the changes to the influenza virus are due to the health and nutritional status of infected hosts.”

“One of Davidson's clearest early demonstrations came from a 2003 workplace trial. Healthy employees were randomized to eight weeks of mindfulness-based stress reduction or a waitlist and received an influenza vaccine near the end of training.”

“Also present in the samples were Bacillus influenzae, bacteria that often facilitate the infiltration of other pneumonia-causing bacteria. Taken together, these findings suggest that pandemic preparedness should include the stockpiling of antibiotics and bacterial vaccines.”

“From a nutrition tech standpoint there are a number of products including probiotics, beta glucans & others that help to protect the birds by boosting immune system activity rather than by killing bacteria. When used in combination with vaccines they can be very effective, albeit slightly more expensive.”
