It will probably cause our resident hysterical anti-vaxxers to go into a tizzy but Moderna has in Phase 1 trial a neutralizing vaccine against RSV.

Once again for the feeble minded among us: We’re not anti vaccines. We’re against a vaccine that hasn’t been fully tested and is only in use because of an “Emergency Use Authorization.” In addition, I already had Covid and according to science I have built-in immunity to Covid.

Conversely, I’ve never had the flu to my knowledge. I presume I have a natural immunity to it and have never gotten a flu shot. Nobody called me names or seemed to GAF because of it.

I also never got the mumps in the 1950s, even though my mom made me sleep in the same room as my brothers when they had it. Apparently I have a natural immunity to that as well. OTOH I’ve had bronchitis between 4-6 times in my life whereas most ppl never get it. So that’s obviously a chink in my immune system armor.

Bottom line is we’re all different and we should be left along to make healthcare choices that are right for us.
