Miscellaneous Vaccine Rants

All of the vaccine's (including Dr. Halford's) are being tested first as a therapeutic treatment.  The concept is that increasing the immune response to HSV via a vaccine has the potential to reduce the frequency and severity of outbreaks.  In clinical trials of Genocea's vaccine it brought symptoms (for about a year) down to the order of taking daily antivirals. 

In an ideal situation there is the potential for one of these vaccines to reduce the burden of HSV to that of the VZV (a.k.a. chickenpox/shingles) in which the virus is latently present but cannot, or is very rarely able to, overcome the immune system and cause an outbreak.

This concept is called a "functional cure" and should be a part of any rational discussion of cure research.

 

Are you saying that Genocea's 58% reduction is a functional cure? LOL

Pray to your Halford God--he will save all of you but he won't cure you--you will still have the Virus (it will not be eradicated).  Oh Halford--you are so great! Your knowledge and wisdom surpass all Herpes Researchers around the world.  Your great wisdom allows you to bash any other researcher that is mentioned on your blog.  All hail Halford!

This is a sort of amusing wasteland where I am placing random, repetitive, off-topic posts about vaccines, collected from a variety of different threads. They don't quite fit the criteria for being deleted but don't belong in their original threads.
