A listener wants to know about the different coronavirus vaccines whether currently available or still being tested.
This week s first and only question has a very involved answer. Barbara Buser from Brunswick Hills asks, There are various types of vaccines being developed: how are we to know which one is best? The first vaccines available right now work with a new technique that’s never been approved before, using messenger RNA. And they re very elegant, simple vaccines, St. Clair said. A little bit of messenger RNA that codes for the spike protein is encapsulated in a little fatty droplet a nanoparticle that goes into your body and is absorbed immediately into your cells, which begin producing the spike protein. I am likening these to a ‘Tesla’: it s really cool and slick, but the only problem is that you can t plug it in everywhere, St. Clair said.
