• Using Mosquitoes To Deliver Vaccines

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 22 01:59:56 2024
    Interesting research <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12/21/could-mosquitoes-deliver-vaccines-against-malaria>
    into turning mosquitoes into vaccine-delivery machines, immunizing
    those they bite against diseases normally carried by those mosquitoes.

    Still early days, but definitely some promising signs of immune-system
    response on the part of those bitten.

    A dangerous idea. Another way of forcing people to have vaccinations.
    Nobody should be allowed to do this until they have permission from those that will be bitten (although they don't exactly "bite") - a worldwide referendum with a target date for completion in, oh, say, 250 years. Yes that would work.

    The actual article headline was "Could mosquitoes deliver vaccines
    against malaria?"
    and in the first paragraph:
    "... scientists say they have successfully engineered mosquitoes to
    deliver vaccines that could potentially provide significantly enhanced
    immunity against malaria."

    We do not have much experience of malaria in New Zealand, but:

    "The World Health Organization’s most recent World Malaria Report
    revealed that an estimated 597,000 people died of malaria globally in
    2023 with African countries bearing the brunt of the death toll –
    accounting for 95 percent of malaria fatalities.

    Scientists estimated that more than 240 million malaria cases occur
    annually worldwide. Children and expectant mothers are the most
    vulnerable to the disease."

    Why are you against scientific research, Tony?

    From the article

    “Using the mosquito as a vector is an easier and quicker way of delivering malaria sporozoites,” Roestenberg explained. “Of course, this is not sustainable in the long term, and so the product will have to be developed
    as a vialled vaccine to be rolled out in Africa.”

    So a weakened strain of the parasite is "given" to the mosquito which then
    is set free to inject the people which gives then a chance to build up immunity.

    However while this is is easier and quicker it is not feasable in the long therm so we we need to go back to the old vial way. Does not say if
    mosquitos are involved in the vial rollout. Probably not as the mosquito way was not sustainable.

    So at the end of the day (the present) a proof of concept has been proven
    but it needs work to beat the old vial way.

    “Mosquitoes could not be implemented to deliver immunisations on a large scale.
    This is only feasible in the context of a clinical trial,” she added.

    So we arrive back at the arguement that vaccation should not be mandated for the people.

    Exactly Gordon. The thread is not about research, it is about delivery in a way that gives people no choice. People like Rich love that sort of enforcement, intelligent and caring people do not.

    see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT_in_New_Zealand

    Not all countries have banned the use of DDT - all the Lawrence was
    saying is that there is interesting research into the use of flies as
    a carrier for a vaccine. That research is not complete, and thankfully
    we were able to cease the use of a number of poisons in New Zealand.

    I was not aware of any suggestion of a "mandate" being considered, but
    it is possible that if members of the NZ Defence Force were deployed
    to some areas this ongoing research could affect what vaccinations are
    required for deployment. Why did you raise the issue of mandates,
    Gordon?

    It is clear that the research is not complete, and it may never need
    to be used in New Zealand.
    Try reading the thread more carefully, Tony.

    I am not. The post is not about research. Read it more carefully.
    Why are you such a fuckwit?

    See the first line in the thread from Lawrence:
    "Interesting research"

    It is clear that the research is not complete, and it may never need
    to be used in New Zealand.
    Try reading the thread more carefully, Tony.
    You are wrong still. You try to read more carefully, but in your case a lost cause.

    Ah, so the science is not settled in this case.

    Trying again, the article was about the research on weaking the parasite
    which causes malaria. The misquitos delivery the weakend parasite to the
    person who fights it off and thus is ready to deal with the high strength version.

    A trial has been done and proved sucessful. (Proof of concept).

    But a lot less died when DDT was being used to control them but you >>>greenies got rid of that and now the likes of Africa suffer.

    see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT_in_New_Zealand

    Not all countries have banned the use of DDT - all the Lawrence was
    saying is that there is interesting research into the use of flies as
    a carrier for a vaccine. That research is not complete, and thankfully
    we were able to cease the use of a number of poisons in New Zealand.

    I have to point out here that misquitos are not flies. Files do not carry >malaria.
    My mistake, Gordon. It will be interesting to see if it proves
    sufficiently effective; it is probably still more desirable to
    eliminate may be preferable to try and eliminate mosquitoes from areas
    where they breed, but it is a sign of the desperation in some
    countries, and the failure of the wealthy countries to support
    eradication that such eradication has not been possible.

    The actual article headline was "Could mosquitoes deliver vaccines >>>against malaria?"
    and in the first paragraph:
    "... scientists say they have successfully engineered mosquitoes to >>>deliver vaccines that could potentially provide significantly enhanced >>>immunity against malaria."

    We do not have much experience of malaria in New Zealand, but:

    "The World Health Organization’s most recent World Malaria Report >>>revealed that an estimated 597,000 people died of malaria globally in >>>2023 with African countries bearing the brunt of the death toll – >>>accounting for 95 percent of malaria fatalities.

    But a lot less died when DDT was being used to control them but you >>greenies got rid of that and now the likes of Africa suffer.

    see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT_in_New_Zealand

    Not all countries have banned the use of DDT - all the Lawrence was
    saying is that there is interesting research into the use of flies as
    a carrier for a vaccine. That research is not complete, and thankfully
    we were able to cease the use of a number of poisons in New Zealand.

    I have to point out here that misquitos are not flies. Files do not carry malaria.

    DDT is bad because it does not degrade -- it is a "forever" chemical.
    Forever chemicals should never be used for any reason.
