ML developed Pan-variant' COVID vaccine - BLOCKGENI

According to MIT researchers, booster injections and seasonal variation doses may become obsolete thanks to a novel approach to vaccination that incorporates machine learning. By targeting infected cells, this "pan-variant" vaccination would quickly control infections while ignoring the virus itself. To be clear, this is currently undergoing animal testing and has not yet been put into use. Therefore, longer-lasting remedies than sporadic boosters for particularly problematic strains are required as COVID becomes a resident virus in the human population. The issue is that, despite how fantastic mRNA vaccines are, they are reactive rather than proactive: after spotting a variation, you sample its spike protein or another distinguishing property and introduce it to the immune system so it is alerted to look out for it.
