Virus class fuels gloom over common cold cure
Berkeley scientists report coronaviruses and rhino viruses multiply the cold threat with 21 corona varieties and 125 rhino strains. Antibiotics fail against colds as researchers test interferon boosters and virus-killing compounds while vaccines face long odds.
Researchers discuss vaccines for rhino viruses and hybrid cures
Dr. Couch at Baylor reports a living virus based vaccine against one rhino virus in prisoner volunteers. He envisions hybrid vaccines combining two rhino types to offer indefinite protection against all 125 rhinos after a six to seven year series, with quarterly boosters. Questions arise about ecological replacement if rhinos and coronaviruses are wiped out.
