@ducky@mstdn.ca @DavidPenington@aus.social One of the best decisions made to increase usage of the HPV vaccine was to include strains that DON'T cause cancer but do cause warts. Genital warts are something people can see, and really don't want. When we get an EBV vaccine, maybe let folks know that it can help keep athletes from getting benched for a season? If your spleen swells up from mono, no contact sports for you until it heals! Keep playing with Tebvax!

    @ducky@mstdn.ca @DavidPenington@aus.social The catch is, right now we don't know how EBV does all those things. If the problems come not from the virus, but from the immune system's response to the virus, making a vaccine gets extra tricky.
