Just another random different mechanism there.
Wonder what it 'might' be doing.
Probably wasn't important.
Not confidence inspiring that their drugs are doing things that they don't fully understand.
I'm sure we can put this in humans without any adverse effects that 'might' happen.

- cainxinth 5y agoSo common it would blow the average patient’s mind. The mechanism of action for Tylenol is still not entirely understood.
- platz 5y agoSo the idea based on other threads is to eradicate covid with this method. I can't wait to see how the public would react to this tech, given the response to mRNA vaccines, trying to blow their minds on this one.
- anoncake 5y agoWe can't eradicate Covid by making all the birds wear masks, we can't eradicate it by vaccinating all the birds, and we certainly can't eradicate it by asking all the birds to go to the doctor to get treated when they get Covid.
- ruinthemagic 5y agoYup. From hazy chemistry degree knowledge, we don't know how most drugs actually work. Designing drugs based on the shapes or proteins etc is pretty cutting edge stuff. And also the nature of organic chemistry is that even if a drug does work a certain way, it probably has several other pathways it can go down. That is, only a certain (probably low) percentage of the drug will actually have the effect you want, the rest will take part in other reactions.
