Immune 65: Infection infidelities with Jonathan Kagan

[@MI-wc6nk]

(assuming i understood the proposal lol) As a cyber security professional, i find this so interesting, drawing many lines from the risk/defense realms in the security world and the immune system. In this specific example, indeed a successful cyber attack won't be identified without some mistakes, as it is impossible to differentiate between legitimate/malicious activity. The mitigation for this in the security world, is making very difficult to reproduce legitimate use by unauthorized agent (i.e. authentication factors, cryptographic approaches, etc. to make it very hard for anyone other than the "real" client to do anything in the solution). Thanks for your great work as always!

I want to follow Jonathan Kagan around, take all his classes and read all the articles. This "intro" by him is a full course in current research. WOW! And I want to "LIKE" all the pages on The Kagan Lab website.

With all that is known about immunity, I don't understand how we downplayed or dismissed the natural immunity in catching and recovering from Covid 19 and wouldn't recognize that when it came to vaccination requirements. Why did that happen?

[@Grendel-td5nf]

Definitely NOT so Pfizer and Moderna and Fauci could make $$$

[@victoriabeat8758]

My question as well.

[@randmorf]

Excellent discussion!

Why are we talking about Star Trek?

Charles A. Janeway Jr. helped create the modern field of innate immunity.

@gribbler I didn't know that, thank you for the information. Did you get the Star Trek reference? :)
