- CarStan, on 09/05/2008, -2/+26BRAAAAAAAIIIIIINNS
- crombenevolant, on 09/05/2008, -2/+23Isn't this article essentially the first chapter of "The Stand" by Stephen King?
- yomamaisfat, on 09/06/2008, -2/+22Let's get the I Am Legend reference out of the way.
- Suits, on 09/06/2008, -0/+14Brought to you by the good people at Umbrella.
- Wrathernaut, on 09/06/2008, -1/+8Unless this vaccine is self replicating, preys on viruses and has a mutation rate greater than that of the virus itself, the virus will win, eventually.
Besides, we have our own self-replicating, evolving anti-virus in our bodies already. It's called an immune system. Keep it trained and the flu ain't got anything on you. - EpicSelekta, on 09/06/2008, -1/+7Better buy a cricket bat.
- cbeach, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6I always go to the Daily Mail when I'm looking for credible medical announcements...
- WallyMa, on 09/06/2008, -0/+6I am sure Will Smith is already fantasizing about driving his mustang thru the fields of Manhattan.
- leerayIG88, on 09/05/2008, -5/+10Sounds like a placebo...to save costs!
- EpicSelekta, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5From the description given at the end of the article of how it works, it seems like it wouldn't need to. It basically trains the immune system to recognize (by association) a few of the proteins that are unique to virii. Proteins like that survive evolution from species to species, and it is entirely possible that there are proteins that are found in all strains of flu and nothing else.
- gradivus, on 09/06/2008, -0/+5My god, its just a vaccine that works with a protein strain that is found in all flu virus. Most virus has a core set of DNA that remains the same no matter how much it mutates, they just found the one for HIV and are working on a similar vaccine for it. Meanwhile you WILL die of a heart attack, cancer, or your own hand, in that order.
- noumuon, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5unfortunately, most people, like yourself, aren't aware of what proper science can entail.
- waspbr, on 09/06/2008, -1/+5noooo, peanut butter causes autism
- illustrick, on 09/06/2008, -0/+4resident evil anyone?
- Nintendesert, on 09/06/2008, -0/+4So how's that Polio working out for you?
- bcorder, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3Damn. I was going to say it didn't end well for Will Smith…
- zerhynn, on 09/06/2008, -0/+3This is dangerous territory. Stock up on your non-perishables and ammo now. Next week: "Doctors Create Super Vaccine Responsible For Highly Infectious Rabies Disease: But Who's Really to Blame?"
- OfNumbers, on 09/06/2008, -1/+4I'm sure this will in some way some day cause a super flu that is immune to the vaccine(s) to spring up.
- spikeyone, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Yeah, those other "30" shots are just for ***** and giggles, right?
Toxicity is based on the dose, and autism and diabetes are completely unrelated, unless you've been drinking the anti-vax koolaid.
They ARE better off than you are, because while they cannot get what they've been vaccinated against, you still can. - Nintendesert, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Masturbation kills.
- Nintendesert, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2If we had a vaccine that prevented us from getting sick it would be because our immune system was killing the infections.
- GrammerPants, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3So it turns out people who live healthy life styles can get sick too! Who knew?
- OfNumbers, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Yeah, that's what I thought too until about 3:13 in to the video. Hers is bigger than mine.
- threepm, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2The Latest from the Umbrella Corporation.... I know how this one ends. :/
- conna, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3My grandparents never had vaccinations and they lived.
- thegrantman, on 09/06/2008, -2/+4This isn't cirrhosis or hypertension or emphysema or anything else caused by negligence....it's just the flu.
- djcreamy, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2You need Flu Buddy!
- jynweythek, on 09/17/2008, -1/+3"but the drug companies stop the development of permanent cures so they can make more money on regular treatments!" -- idiot conspiracy theorists on digg
- inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2Now they have to cure the common cold.
- DreadKnight, on 09/06/2008, -1/+3I AM LEGEND
- deusdiabolus, on 09/06/2008, -0/+2F*ck flu vaccination, flu can get me out of work. Keep working on that HIV vaccine so I can enjoy sex more.
- BlitzTips, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1Sure they are. http://digg.com/health/Flu_Shots_Not_So_Helpful_fo ...
- noumuon, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1one rather large part of science is to get a better understanding of why something happens. you do that by forming rather explanatory theories that also are accurately predictive. you can then take these theories and use little bits of information to extrapolate rather large outcomes. cosmology ***** have you heard of it?
- nydwarf, on 09/09/2008, -0/+1I'll have what she's having.
- spikeyone, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1Many people in the US reject evolution and believe in zombie-jesus.
- spikeyone, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1Because deafness, brain damage, and lifelong disfigurements cannot be "solved naturally".
- m85476585, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1Because it's really unpleasant to get the flu.
- MasterGrief, on 09/07/2008, -0/+1...kittens, apparently
- jmhyer51, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1you first .....
- Fallout911, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1You win automatically.
- ErickStevenson, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1I never had any flu shot vaccine myself and I hardly got the "flu", specially in High School and when I was living in Asia for a bit. Then again I'm also not big in the whole germaphobe thing.
- Auricfield, on 09/06/2008, -1/+2Jezzzz - are you suggesting these law abiding God fearing people who run these highly respectable drug companies are motivated by... umm... profit? Surel Not!
- listrophy, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1Listen to Futures in Biotech 32: Controlling HIV Evolution. http://twit.tv/fib32
Dr. Ronald Collman can do a much better job explaining the difficulties of curing HIV than pretty much anyone on digg. - inactive, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1This is like a 546578768 article from british scientists saying something is in development.
- spikeyone, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1You're not implying that the flu shot causes the flu, are you? I've almost always had the flu shot, and I've never caught the flu.
- AmnesiacJack, on 09/06/2008, -6/+6I've never had a flu shot and I've never had the flu, coincidence?
- spikeyone, on 09/06/2008, -0/+1All their brothers and sisters and half their children didn't. : (
