LjLCDC doesn't know02:55
LjLbut at least it's a better (as in more cautious) assumption to make than telling people they're immune forever02:55
Win7ineSeems Stanford EDU PAC-Man ist a brighter approach than any traditional vaccine?02:55
LjLhaven't heard of that one. what's it based on?02:56
LjLoh, CRISPR02:57
Win7ineDevelopment of CRISPR as an antiviral strategy02:57
LjLbut it looks like it's an attempt to an antiviral, not to a vaccine...?02:57
LjLhowever prophylactic02:57
Win7ineexactly, beyond the idea of vaccines02:57
LjLwell, but a prophylactic is something you have to keep taking generally02:58
LjLwhile a vaccine, if you're lucky you get long-lasting immunity02:58
LjLprophylactics are used for things where there is no vaccine, like for HIV you give PReP to people at higher risk, and for instance healthcare operators are often at higher risk for some things, so it makes sense for them02:59
Win7ineThe idea of vaccines is some 100 years old now and data suggests that COVID19 patients loose immunity within 3 months already after going through the decease02:59
LjLbut you probably can't feel the entire population with a prophylactic unless it stays in the body for a hell of a long time...02:59
LjLWin7ine, keyword "suggest". i don't think we really know how long immunity lasts03:00
Win7ineSO what is the point in all the vaccine being developped ...03:00
LjLcan't feed*03:00
LjLWin7ine, 3 months is pretty much lower limit. we can realistically be hoping for much longer durations03:00
