Now That We Have It, What Does The COVID Vaccine Do?
With the advent of the coronavirus pandemic, one of the first questions was, “What does this thing do to you?”

SCIENCE! performed a miracle with 3 vaccines released in less than 1 year,

Pfizer’s Coronavirus Vaccine. A New Hope, With Some Caveats:
So we got our miracle! A Coronavirus vaccine!

What this constitutes in medicine really is kind of amazing.

Even the incredible work done on Ebola was based on elements that had been in the pipeline for years, so this work is like bottled-lightning!

There would have been absolutely nobody in March of this year who guessed a working vaccine by year’s end would be possible or even likely.

But here we are, and although more good news is coming, we are in the phase Tom Petty once said was the hardest part. Waiting…

The new Gardasil-9 protects against even more strains of HPV than before.

The old vaccine protected against 4 varieties & had a 97% prevention rate. And those 4 strains covered 70% of all potentially-lethal HPV.
