A Vaccine That Makes Your Immune System ... Forget?

Vaccines for covid or the flu teach your immune system to remember a threat so that it responds when that threat shows up. Some researchers want to delete immune memories instead, because those aberrant memories are the cause of autoimmune diseases like MS, Celiac, and Crohn's disease.

[@stormthrush37]

As someone who suffered crippling allergies earlier in life who was allergic to literally every single thing I was tested on and who still has an autoimmune disorder, this is great news.

[@AuntieShanti510]

As a transplant recipient who relies on massive doses of immune suppressing medications to keep my donors organ safe I can't help but hope some day this can be used to help people like me.

[@PotatoGodzilla]

As someone with a chronic autoimmune that is not curable and caused by an inflammation something like that would be life changing for me.

[@tycathedrawer]

I knew immediately what this was about as someone with so many allergies T_T

[@IceMetalPunk]

This is so cool! Imagine a day when doctors routinely say things like, "It seems you have diabetes. I'll schedule you for an outpatient liver biopsy next week so we can prepare your Invax-D, you should be fine on that for a couple weeks, then you'll be good to go. Just watch your sugar intake until then, okay?"

[@pengyfelix]

If they don't call this a baccine (back-seen), they're missing a major opportunity.

[@postapocalypticnewsradio]

My celiac can be defeated....I can't tell you how excited I am... and weeping? I don't know how to feel about this news. But I'm excited to see where this goes

[@mattyman1241]

Cant wait for them to do this for crohns and colitis. Bit rude to go after my bowels just for existing

[@joshuahillerup4290]

I wonder if this could also help with organ recipients

[@syndigriner-owens4351]

I have MS and this has me is tears, feels like we are so close.

[@toadacrosstheroad]

Helping people who suffer from autoimmune diseases like me is the reason i want to go into biomedical engineering/general biomedical lab work. Its been so hard for me to even figure out what's happening and how to adjust to life with my chronic illnesses, and I want everyone to have proper access to adequate, affordable, and accurate testing. I hope this takes us a step forward, and I hope future generations have it easier in the unknown world of autoimmune disease.

[@Azguella]

I love when my immune system is so good they attack my myelin sheath 🧠

[@Skenjin]

I hope they do this for Crohns Disease soon as well

[@cathygould]

I have several auto immunes. I'm 70, and they've really taken their toll, so it probably won't help me. But for my nieces, friends kids and grands, This would be a wonderful thing 🤞🏽🙏🏽❣️💜💙💜

[@Lugmillord]

YES! This can't come fast enough. I have a terrible case of primary progressive MS which can't even be suppressed (the only medication is Ocrelizumab with the best case outcome of "hey, it'll only get worse with 70% of the speed") and this year has been especially devastating. Having the outlook of walking again in a couple of years is the best christmas present you could give to me.

[@catatonicbug7522]

As a T1D who also has a son and daughter-in-law who are also T1D, this video brought me to tears. Imagine being able to determine the existence of genetic markers for a disease, and tailor a few injections that will prevent a lifetime of suffering! That would be so amazing!

[@clappercl]

MS treatment is looking promising. Lucid MS from FSD Pharma just finished Phase 1 human trials and now I learn about these "anti-vaccines" being studied in Germany! Thanks for publishing your souces SciShow team! In 3-5 years maybe I'll be able to walk again!

[@damion9742]

As someone with MS, this could be a game changer in a lot of ways.

[@DaxLLM]

That would be a massive advancement in treating or even curing autoimmune diseases!

[@bropoke6799]

Honestly i think even if this just becomes a way to prevent type 1 diabetes and other diseases i think its absolutely worth it. Ive been suicidal because of my diabetes and preventing others from having to go through that and risk them losing the fight, its worth it. I also knew someone who lost their battle with depression after nothing helped their MS symptoms. The amount of pain everyone around them felt was extreme. If we can treat or prevent these conditions, lives can be saved
