This right here is a sign that the media either thinks we are all really stupid or proof that they themselves are too dumb to live.

I anyone reads this headline and doesn't laugh at its stupidity, I just don't know what to say?

I thought this was satire when I first saw it. The Babylon Bee masquerading as the Daily Fail. But no…it’s a real headline. It’s also an unreal story.

Scientists have created a jab to help protect against multiple coronaviruses, even the ones 'we don’t even know about yet', according to its creators.

Created by experts from the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Caltech in California, the project aims to 'proactively' build a vaccine before the next potential pandemic causing pathogen even becomes threat.  

The experimental shot, which has so far only been tested on mice, works by training the immune system to recognise parts of many different coronaviruses, a family of viruses that includes Covid, SARS and MERS. 

Current vaccines work by training the immune system to target a single specific type of virus, such as the measles jab. But the new jab can target several.

Such a jab could allow people to be protected from multiple types of coronaviruses in a single dose, including, in theory, ones currently unknown to science. 

This ‘magical’ new vaccine which is experimental (in common with every single other jab which, when it comes down to it, are all experimental as well) can protect against viruses which haven’t been discovered. That’s some kind of powerful ‘science’!

What a shame all of the other vaccines can’t protect against anything at all. I wonder what makes this one any different?
