I post a fair amount of concerning news about #COVID19, so here's some potential good news. A vaccine developed at Rutgers is showing promise for long-lasting protection from COVID, and it's cheap to produce and distribute without special low-temperature handling. It needs more testing, but perhaps better population-wide protection is on the horizon?

As an Rutgers Almini, who-hoo!!

There has also been some breakthroughs targeting spike protein areas which don't seem to change over the variants. I'm not sure if this recently approved one is that or just a slight update better matched to current variants. https://www.precisionvaccinations.com/2023/04/05/fda-authorizes-new-monoclonal-antibody-covid-19#:~:text=today%20announced%20that%20Gohibic%20(vilobelimab,within%2048%20hours%20of%20receiving
