#1 I'm curious as to why the human immune system doesn't recognize M2 without the 'vaccine' (which doesn't sound like a vaccine to me).

#2 Dozed during the evolution lecture---cause it has nothing to do with being a biomedical researcher---did we?

#3 the jab will have to be regularly reformulated.

Ah, job security. At least M2 will be more cooperative than that nasty poliomyolitis vaccine that killed the Mothers' March of Dimes.

#4 Are you kidding? March of Dimes is still around; now they focus on birth defects.

You name a medical charity that's gone out of business the last fifty years even though the disease they originally targeted has been cured/controlled. Name one.

#5 Sorry, I was kidding. Do you know why the March of Dimes is focused on birth defects? After the vaccine for polio was discovered by Dr. Koprowski and administered broadly, the MoD realized it had to change focus. So they asked themselves, "What is the disease least likely to be cured?" Birth Defects! Our new goal to stay in business by curing the uncurable. Sort of reminds you of the incentives to poverty pimps to lift people out of poverty or the incentives of teachers to actually educate children. Rentiers all.

#7 I can remember the first time I got a polio vaccination - in the second grade, in 1953. My class had great incentive - two of our classmates had had polio earlier. One had a leg brace, the other was always short of breath and very sickly. I haven't gotten a flu shot since I left the military, 16 years ago (haven't had the flu, either). If this thing works, I might be tempted.
