Episode notes
Limits Of Intramuscular Vaccination
- Intramuscular vaccines produce systemic IgG but do not create a true adaptive mucosal immune system.
- Antibody transudation into mucosa gives limited protection but lacks local cellular adaptation against evolving respiratory pathogens.
Vaccination Can Drive Local Evolution
- Delivering antigen to mucosa enables local adaptive evolution of immune cells and better response to escape variants.
- Injected antibodies that leak into mucosa can select for escape variants where the immune system cannot adapt.
Generalists Bridge Cross-Disciplinary Gaps
- Generalists can integrate multiple disciplines and spot high-level evolutionary problems specialists miss.
- 'Stay in your lane' gatekeeping can block valuable cross-disciplinary critique during crises.
