What I wouldn’t give to have this to reduce the burden of flu season in the emergency department. In my experience my job difficulty scales to be 100x harder for 3-4 months out of the year and all...
The other scenario is at the start of winter when the usual wide range of winter bugs start to spread, "one could imagine a seasonal spray that could be administered to imprint broad immunity" against them all.
What I wouldn’t give to have this to reduce the burden of flu season in the emergency department.
In my experience my job difficulty scales to be 100x harder for 3-4 months out of the year and all of us dread that time because the pace you have to work is insane to maintain for 12 hour shifts. It doesn’t feel safe for me or my patients and having to reduce the quality of care to keep up causes moral injury to the staff.
If I could see a this in my lifetime I would be beyond happy.
This seems a bit too good to be true. But if it does do as it claims I sure hope our medical system doesn't take advantage of this is any way instead of just bettering humanity.

This sounds really rather interesting and an approach i wouldn’t have thought of. The real science publication is here but I haven’t had a chance to go through it properly yet.

Very cool, very original/different approach ... however, for that very reason, I feel like this is also an approach that is rife with potential unexpected side-effects and downsides, that no one...

Just as a lay-person, and speaking simply ... after 3 non-stop months of being on "high alert" ... might not an immune system become "tired" or "confused" about activity levels, or about what-all it's supposed to fight against?
Might cure cancer. Might cause it. I won't be first in line, at least.
ETA: Reading more than just the first 4 paragraphs now, I see a lot of my concerns are shared.
Kind of a tangent ... wasn't one of the top issues of Covid effectively caused by an over-reaction of the immune system? I remember the phrase "cytokine storm".

Or ... you know ... hire more people.

There's got to be a downside to keeping a reactive system on standby continuously.
