      And we wont “know” for a very long time. If the virus returns after lying dormant for 5 years its not a “cure” just a highly effective therapy.

        It’s a thing I forget a lot.

        Kinda like when CFLs first dropped and a lot of them were like “this light bulb will last over 80 years!”, when in reality they lasted 2 years.

        In reality, at that point, their prototype had been made a year and a half ago and had far outlived the standard incandescent bulb, so they put an assininely huge number on the packaging.

        6 months later, the prototype burned out.

          unrelated to the original topic but man, i fucking love LEDs.

          they just politely sip electricity and have a huge lifespan, then when they do kick the bucket it’s not unlikely you can fix them by swapping a capacitor or something.

      Seems like the main point of this report is that none of the people who’d been given the treatment suffered any ill effects, and that the “stuff” of said treatment remained detectable in them after four weeks. They promise to have additional data in 2024.
