I’m done pretending Bernie is some moral hero. He’s propping up a deeply flawed candidate, parroting GOP border lies, and helping Republicans attack Democrats. That’s not “unity.” That’s desperation to stay relevant. He’s become a bitter old man who can’t accept it’s time to retire.

Focusing on border security while refusing to reform and speed-up the pathway to citizenship is a surefire way to always have a failing record on border security. Immigrants are harder workers, less likely to commit crimes, and have a deeper respect for our laws than a certain 1/3 of voters.

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism. They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

Stanford researchers have found a way to trick our immune systems into paying attention to all four subtypes represented in the vaccine. Here’s how it works:

B-cells- the immune cells that serve as our body's antibody factories- are ultrapicky about exactly which antibodies they make. An individual B-cell will produce only a single species of antibody fitting a mere one or very few antigenic shapes. That B-cell is just as picky about what antigen it will pay attention to: that is, precisely the antigen the B-cell's antibodies will stick to. When this antigen comes along, the B-cell recognizes it and gobbles it up.
That's step one.
Next, the B-cell chops the antigen up into tiny strips called peptides, which it displays on its surface for inspection by roving immune cells called helper T-cells, whose follow-on stimulatory services are critical for turning antigen-displaying B-cells into antibody-spewing B-cells.
Helper T-cells are just as finicky as B-cells. A helper T-cell will sprinkle its stardust only on B-cells displaying antigen-derived peptides that particular T-cell is designed to respond to- and even then, only when that peptide is gripped by one of the matching molecular jewel cases that B- cells produce in myriad varieties.
But different peptides require different jewel cases.
And depending on their luck in the genetic draw, people's repertoires of those specialized jewel cases vary from one person to the next, leaving many of us with plenty of the jewel cases that match peptides from one influenza-subtype hemagglutinin but far fewer of those that match another flu subtype's peptides.

In the standard flu vaccine formulation, the four antigens corresponding to the four common subtypes are delivered as separate particles in a mix. To overcome subtype bias, researchers stitched all four antigens together. They designed a vaccine in which the four hemagglutinin varieties are chemically conjoined on a molecular matrix scaffolding. That way, any B-cell that recognizes and begins ingesting one or another of the vaccine's four hemagglutinin types ends up wolfing down the entire matrix and displaying bits of all four antigens on its surface, persuading the immune system to react to all of them despite its predisposition not to.
Forcing B-cells to "eat their vegetables" - internalize all four hemagglutinin subtypes instead of just the one that tastes best- effectively multiplies the number of B-cells displaying hemagglutinin-derived peptides from every subtype on their surfaces, albeit still in a ratio skewed by the B-cells' uneven inventories of jewel-case molecules.
This, in turn, makes helper T-cells much more likely to stumble on a sample from the antigen they love to hate. They fire up, start multiplying feverishly, branch out in pursuit of any B-cells displaying that antigen and spur antibody production in them. These selected B-cells also proliferate, culminating in bulk production of antibodies that are likely to stop the influenza virus-whatever its subtype- in its tracks.

Supplementary figure 1: A multivariate regression model was developed to estimate the post-vaccination (day 28, d28) HAI response using baseline (day 0, dO) HAl titer, age, and sex. The geometric mean titer (GMT) for each individual at baseline (dO) and post-vaccination (d28) was calculated based on HAl titers against all influenza virus strains in the vaccine formulation.

Supplementary figure 2: Sankey flow diagrams depict the change in HAl response for each donor after vaccination, for the different vaccine subtypes: (A) H1, (B) H3, and (C) B. The lines connect the baseline (day 0) and post-vaccination (day 28) HAl titers for each donor.

Supplementary figure 3: Association of (A) Age and (B) Sex with subtype-bias after seasonal influenza vaccination. The UMAP plot rendering is identical to Figure 1(A). The adjusted p-values to compare the distribution of age across different groups was calculated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey test for pairwise comparisons. The p-value for sex distribution across different groups was calculated by two-tailed Fisher's exact test. Not significant (n.s.).

Supplementary figure 4: Subtype-specific responses in high responders. (A) Post-vaccination (day 28) HAI titers are shown using box plots. The mean fold-change in HAl titer against the vaccine subtypes is also given. Adjusted p-values were calculated using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's test for pairwise comparisons. The fold-change (day 7/day 0) in CD4+ cTh activation against the vaccine subtypes in response to vaccination after stimulation with (B) Strain-specific,
and (C) Conserved, subtype-specific HA peptides are shown using box plots (n = 9). Adjusted p-
values were calculated using one-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak test for pairwise comparisons.
Not significant (n.s.).
