> put the lungs into a constant state of readiness, allowing fast responses to almost any invading germ
Succeeding at this would prove that our bodies have the capacity to do that but evolution "tuned" the system differently. A corollary would be that this vaccination is probably a net negative for public health, even if nobody'd really know why.
Don't bat immune systems work like this? Except they end up in equilibrium instead of eliminating the viruses, which is why it's so dangerous to come into contact with them.
I think almost everyone would avoid this if it meant you became deadly to your dog or cat.
It seems like every year we find links between viruses and disease. I wonder if broader vaccines will lead to accidentally eradicating some diseases like the HPV vaccine is currently eradicating cervical cancer.
As someone who has taken the HPV vaccine, I'd take the other side of that trade. It's been 6 years since covid mania, who is taking these booster shots now? Anyone?

Fascinating. Looks like you’re right. However, disease and other stressors can disrupt that equilibrium.

Which means bats are the Mr Burns of the animal kingdom.

Next up: scientists are creating the everything vaccine for dogs and cats.
Maybe not! Let's find out.
I'm in my armchair thinking autoimmune diseases.

Joe Rogan wouldn't like this.
How much you want to bet that you'll have to get a yearly booster shot so their stock prices can keep going up?

“Put that **** directly into my veins”, as they say
That's how it typically works, yes.
Typically intramuscular actually
That's true.
