Go on, dr shifter, we're listening. Turn your back on NASA, and use your talents for good instead of evil! The floor is yours. Tell us this Achilles heel of the covid-19 genome that you think we can exploit?
But before you do, are you by chance, referring to the protein spike on the surface of sars-cov-2, most likely to provoke an immune reaction in humans?
If so, then yes, by isolating it and pasting it on the genome of a bacterium which subsequently multiplies, it will produce large quantities of the protein! Then by introducing the protein to a human, huge numbers of anti bodies are switched on to recognize the protein, so when sars cov 2 comes along, enough antibodies can easily destroy it before it gets the upper hand!
Dr stash and I have been doing similar work, only cruder. We've been isolating antibodies from recovered covid19 patients, who's bodies have seroconverted. We have been treating severe cases with their serum, or should I say, blood plasma, to fight the disease and bring it under control faster. It worked against the mumps, measles, and the 1918 influenza flu, and seems to be working here.
Our new goal is to build synthetic white blood cells in the lab, cloned off the white blood cells extracted from the blood plasma of seroconverted people, or recovered people with immunity to covid-19.
The goal is a super immune response, even in those with weakened immune systems....and combine it with flavipiravir.
Dr Davis, what exactly are you up to in this lab, when not peeling dr cowgirl's daisy dukes off with your teeth, and conspiring against me?? I must say, all those esteemed titles you hold, have worked in your favor to hide your true NASA allegiances. No wonder they contracted you and your spy wife!
