Enzolytics Inc (ENZC)

I think that the sentiment is ok but I think that it shows a lack of understanding of the nature of this virus and of mRNA based vaccines. Before I say this let me start by saying yes, we should all be vaccinated at this point; if not for ourselves then out of respect for others and to relieve the burden that we are dealing with day in and out in the hospital. That being said, the current vaccinations are not the panacea that they are being made out to be. The upside of an mRNA vaccine is the technology allows for a very specific vaccine with very specific targets. The downside, at least theoretically, is that an mRNA vaccine will selectively drive mutations to a more virulent form. While those of us who are vaccinated are having adequate immune responses to the Delta variant, there is emerging data out of Israel that that response is not robust in some of the newer variants. Early data is showing very severe disease in young, immunized patients. If we keep our current trajectory we are going to continue to have reactive responses to treating this virus instead of proactive responses to eliminate it. The NIH should be implored to support research into different routes of therapy such as the targeting of conserved immutable sites on the virus such as enzolytics and others are pursuing.
