[QUOTE="BrockW, post: 441300, member: 5910"] This is an excellent topic of conversation. I asked this same question a while back and on the podcast we did with Dr. Jason Bartz. You’re right it’s not a “vaccine” in a traditional sense. It’s just called a vaccine because people have a familiarity with that term. But a few posts back, I believe I briefly mentioned that they can actually make genetically engineered rodents and cattle that are completely immune to prion disease. Those are called PrP knockout animals. These are basically like crispr animals for lack of a better description. They alter the DNA so that the animal doesn’t make the regular cellular PrP protein that is needed for a prion infection. Remember, infectious prions [B]convert[/B] these normal cellular PrP proteins within the body and that’s how a prion infection “spreads” through the body. Well these “vaccines” or sort of working on that same premise, and are essentially just PrP down regulators. Down regulating that PrP cellular protein within an animal. To my understanding, these vaccines are actually much farther along in humans than they are in animals. But that is what they are talking about with these vaccines. [/QUOTE]
