What bothers me is that every single good news coming from science has the same old "but".

>It will still take a long time before these experiments lead to the first human trials

And we'll never hear from them again. You betcha!

Would you prefer that only 100% finished and completed science is communicated to you? It's nice to see the evolution of knowledge; and since it is a long process, most of the reports will be about incomplete stuff. Regarding such a common virus like herpes, I'm sure you'll hear from it very soon again!

Actually, yeah I would prefer that, instead of constantly hearing about things that never come to fruition and eventually tuning them out. It’s like the boy who cried wolf

Well, that's easy, just quit reading science news articles and watch for new items on shelves, or in commercials.

Isn't this just the reality of science? A lot of things seem promising and then turn out to be duds?

Look up when the electron was discovered, and how long electronics took to become a thing.

Actually, electronics were already in widespread use way before the discovery of the electron by Thomson in 1897...

What you probably meant is the discovery of electricity.

that's not true. We will hear from them again. Read my reply to the previous comments

It's often the case. It's not always the case.

I remember the stories during the summer. "mRNA is promising, but there never was an mRNA vaccine that made it to the market. Nobody knows if it'll work."

Well, it does work. Amazingly so.

And for the hundreds that have died from them already? I mean, not died from them. I mean died days to weeks after. They’re uhm, completely unrelated!

Would their families also agree that they work amazingly so?

What are you on about? The vaccines haven’t killed anyone.

Huh? Here’s one report out of thousands

So you can stop saying that now.

That didn't say the vaccine killed him.

Hoo boy... Someone only watches MSM for their news.

Yes, because in the political desire to solve the pandemic they lifted lots of regulation that make the approval of new medicines prohibitively expensive
