At least it seems there is some proper testing going on. Before this stuff is rolled out, to be injected into everyone’s arms.
just in time to prevent the last of us from actually happening!

>>At least it seems there is some proper testing going on.
In research published in PNAS Nexus, researchers gathered data from 103 mice and 25 monkeys.
They tested four different vaccine candidates against Aspergillus, Candida and Pneumocystis.
In 20 of the mice and two monkeys, they vaccinated them but did not expose them to fungus - to determine the safety of the vaccines.
The others were vaccinated and had their immune system suppressed by drugs before being exposed to a fatal fungus dose.
This is done to simulate how effective the vaccine would be in an immunocompromised person who is most at risk of severe illness.
The NXT-2 shot was the only shot to effectively prevent severe infection against all three fungi in every animal it was tested against.
The shot also did not show any significant adverse side effects to the 12 animals that received it and were not exposed to the deadly disease.
Now all we need is a fungal infection crisis.
