"no long-term complications"

It seems unreliable to rely on data about long-term complications from publications made within months of the advent of the vaccine itself. Philologick (talk) 05:18, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why? RS knows how to interpret the science surely. Bon courage (talk) 08:17, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What does interpret the science even mean?

It doesn't mean anything if you actually know grammar. 222.108.156.194 (talk) 05:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the vaccine to work it needed to deliver a stable accurate replica of the virus's spike protein so that the body's immune system could recognize and react to COVID{{nbhyph}}19 if they became infected.<ref name = "Miller_2021" />{{rp|72–75}} In developing a stable replica, the team was assisted by advice from [[Barney S. Graham]] who had been studying the MERS virus, which was approximately 54% identical to the uploaded COVID-19 genetic code.<ref name = "Miller_2021" />{{rp|74}}</ref>
