🍺🧪 Could a pint of #beer replace a needle? Virologist Christopher Buck engineered common brewer’s yeast to carry a #vaccine against a common #virus, then tested it by brewing – and drinking – the results.
The yeast acted like a protective shield, helping the vaccine survive stomach acid to trigger an immune response in the gut. Experts say this experimental "vaccine beer" could pave the way for cheaper, painless, edible immunizations.
