Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reed’s SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein.

There's an economic term called "velocity". Money moving through the system generates velocity. Velocity creates more activity to generate more income opportunities for middlemen and governments to take a cut from out of the increased number of opportunities. Taxes are included in the increased opportunities.

The feds spend $22 billion a day and trillions in debt. We cannot collect enough taxes to ever pay off the interest on the debt. We could inflate the money supply and wipe out the savings of everyone. That should work.

This "Spike Ferritin" thing--it's an approach that's being used in a number of Covid vaccine R&D projects across the country, and likely, around the world, or at least in other Western countries--so not just this one particular project of the U.S. Army.
Embrace the Spike Ferritin. You must make a friend of it, or it is truly an enemy to be feared.

To develop the new vaccine, Modjarrad and Joyce [Emerging Infectious Diseases Branch at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research] turned to a naturally occurring molecule called ferritin. Ferritin is a highly conserved iron-carrying protein that self-assembles into a spherical particle with 24-units that can each be conjugated to an antigen. Modjarrad and Joyce bound multiple copies of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to a ferritin molecule and mixed the ferritin-fusion recombinant protein with a liposomal formulation to serve as an adjuvant.
“The design phase is always the most difficult part, and we accelerated — probably just by pure grit and determination with a small group — two years of work into the span of a few months,” said Modjarrad. His research team tested more than 200 design constructs in almost 2000 mice before settling on a primary candidate. They dubbed their new SARS-CoV-2 vaccine Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle (SpFN).
To test SpFN’s efficiency, they injected two doses of their vaccine four weeks apart into 32 male and female SARS-CoV-2 naïve rhesus macaque monkeys. Four weeks after the last injection, Modjarrad and Joyce exposed the animals to SARS-CoV-2 and investigated their immune responses.
The antibodies induced by the SpFN vaccine neutralized SARS-CoV-2 ten times more potently than existing SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. The team also observed a robust Th1 CD4+ T cell helper response in the vaccinated animals in response to infection, suggesting an increased production of antigen-specific memory B cells.
The secret behind the potent response elicited by the SARS-CoV-2 ferritin-based vaccine likely lies in its ordered spike protein presentation to the immune system. Most vaccines present one copy of an antigen, but ferritin’s unique structure allows researchers to present multiple copies of the antigen in a single molecule. This trains the immune system to better recognize the invading pathogen and yields a stronger immune response than traditional vaccine approaches.
Soon after the opening of its pharmaceutical subsidiary, Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, Umbrella began developing biological weaponry for militaries across the world as part of a worldwide conspiracy to accumulate deadly viruses directly prohibited by the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention. Umbrella Pharmaceuticals was able to cover their true intentions by researching vaccines for the same viruses as a front.

Irwin Redlener, M.D., a guest on MSNBC's The 11th Hour, sounded an optimistic note about this SpFN-based vaccine project at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research.
When the anchor asked Dr Redlener about the prospects for Omicron-specific anti-Covid booster shots, Redlener pivoted to this research at the Walter Reed Army Institute. But clearly, this is something that is more than just a few more months from being "ready for prime time."
Irwin Redlener, M.D., is founding director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, director of the Center’s Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative and co-founder – with singer Paul Simon- of The Children’s Health Fund.
The author of two books, Americans at Risk: Why We’re Not Prepared for Megadisasters and What We can Do Now and Nautilus Book Prize winner, The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for 21st America, Dr. Redlener is frequently called upon as an expert and inspirational speaker. He has authored more than 50 opinion pieces in recent years in publications including the Washington Post, the Daily Beast, The Hill and others.
Since 2020, Dr. Redlener has been serving as an on-air public health analyst for NBC & MSNBC.

It is interesting how it seems sometimes the creativity of science fiction inspires future events and tech "advancements" even if symbolically.
