    vaccine is a scientific term, meaning a weaker (or, rather, as weak as scientifically possible) version of the same virus / bacteria, so that immune system could learn to fight it without dying in the process.

    This is not a vaccine, as has an active substance, that chemically interacts either with our body, HIV’s shell, or both

      There are more ways, weak virus, dead virus, modified virus, payload swap virus and an mRNA blast.

      Would love to see this HIV vac get more development and become permanent and a part of infant vaccine routine until it just fucking dies.

        of course there are. I was axcited to hear about Vectors when they were developed. It’s nice to see scientists come up with something new

      MRNA vaccine works differently if I remember well. Basically instead of injecting the weaker virus itself, they trick the body to produces non-active parts of that pathogens in order to train the body.
