Physiology & Medicine / Can flu vaccines cause genetic drift?
« on: 23/12/2015 23:34:06 »
It is well known that the influenza virus naturally mutate in order to survive.
Therefore, how could the virus adapt itself to the acquired immunity provided by flu vaccines ?
Could the next pandemic result in a genetic drift caused by the vaccines as the virus become resistant to the host immune system ?
Are synthetic DNA vaccines promoting genome-wide mutations ?
