Happy April, aspiring Microbe Whisperers!
I know you are enjoying the breath of spring, the blush of blossoms, and the light of hope, from the medical marvel of the Covid-19 vaccine! My last post described how vaccines are being developed and a general idea of how they work:
To get a deeper understanding of what is in the COVID-19 vaccine, and how our body uses the mRNA fragment,
once it is injected into your arm muscle, I am providing some tidbits from a marvelous lecture given by the Columbia University Professor and Virologist, Dr. Vincent Racaniello.My goal is to provide tools for you to continue self-education on vaccines, how they are made and how they work. I hope that this will help to allay fears and dispel doubts.
Let's Spring-clean this pandemic from our planet already!
You can access the entire lecture by Dr. Racaniello by clicking on the image of "Microbe TV" shown here.
Dr. Racaniello also explains what the Covid-19 virus variants really mean.

Wishing you a joyful discovery and healthy Spring!
