I wish. My kids are coeliac i.e., the presence of gluten in food causes the body to attack its own gut.
I’d love if there were a vaccine that they could take once, or even every several months that would let them eat what they wanted. It would have to be something that either turns off the errant immune response altogether or teaches the body to tolerate / ignore gluten proteins.
It’s coming! I’m confident in my lifetime they’ll have it solved. They’re actually working on an “anti-vaccine” that corrects celiac/diabetes. I’m also interested because I have 1 celiac and 1 diabetes. Celiac sucks.
All I heard overpandemic was that COVID was triggering diabetes in people which makes sense because we don’t know what triggers diabetes but one of the theories is it’s caused by viral stress.
I bet any money they will one day find a genetic mutation like the one in BRCA2 that causes cancer.
Thats literally next year. That’s amazing.
Can’t wait to see what other uses we can find for mRNA
Cure for auto immune diseases is incoming FWIW

Does anyone know yet if long COVID is an auto-immune disease? I only assume it is but otherwise don’t know.
It seems like a mix. Part from organ damage, part from misbehaving immune response in some people
COVID is a virus, so not an autoimmune illness. Long COVID might be partly autoimmune
