This is good news, not only for SARS-CV-2 but for other coronaviri as well.
The great thing about the spine helix, from an immunological standpoint, is that it doesn’t mutate. At least, it hasn’t mutated yet, three years into the COVID pandemic.

So a vaccine that binds the spine helix in SARS-CoV-2 should hold up for a long time. And it should also work on all the other coronaviruses that also include the spine helix—and there are dozens of them, including several such as SARS-CoV-1 and MERS that have already made the leap from animal populations and caused outbreaks in people.
Although as soon as there's vaccine-induced evolutionary pressure for the spine helix target, it might mutate, but it sounds like it will be "harder" to do so and still "work", and this makes the vaccine much more effective longer term, and more broad spectrum.

    I just posted that in the Covid thread. I think it shows some real promise. We've had other "breakthroughs", but this one looks like it could be the real thing. That would be AWESOME.

    I am sorry to have to inform u people that there will be no fantasy football for the rest of the year.:( While fantasy football had been a real winner for all of us, my account with Fanduel has no money left in it and I won't be depositing any in it going forward.:greengrin: The money that was in the account was from last year or the year before. It's been a lot of fun and I want to thank everyone that participated in it.:thumbs:

    Chinese takeout.
    That's our plan of attack here tonight. Haven't
    had it in many many months. Usually WAY over-
    order and it lasts for 2 leftover dinners.

    Feeling sloth-like today.
