Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis. Researchers at the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) have developed
Lol ok, sure
Honestly, this is a fair response to an outrageously sensationalist headline. There is promise in this particular style of vaccine, and it deserves further research, but to claim it’s going to cure all these disorders is something so far from the current truth that it really verges on an outright lie.
Your explanation as to why my response was fair got more votes than my actual response, and mine dipped into the negatives.
Wrap your head around that one
They added subtlety and made a point, you just reacted skeptically to a headline
If you’re surprised by this, you should really put more thought into why your post went negative
Dude, every one of these articles is “This is a breakthrough in cancer research” and then a year goes by and no one has mentioned it since.
Rinse and repeat every few weeks, and then tell me you’re not tired of these stupid ass sensationalized headlines that some dickhead thought hed share for some sweet e-points
Ok? But like… I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but why would I care that you scoffed when you read the headline?
You were expressing your feelings, but that’s all your first post did. Hell, it’s not immediately clear exactly what you disagreed with. Is the science bad? Is the site untrustworthy? Is the article bad? Or is the only problem that the headline is clickbait?
At least if you said “this headline is bullshit”, someone could have either agreed and moved the conversation towards what the headline should have said, or they’d say “no, it sounds crazy but this is actually legit”

Yours being in the negative is the whole reason I responded to it, actually. I was hoping my context could make people see that yours was the appropriate stance for those who aren’t hopelessly naive. Sorry it didn’t work!
It’s ok, someone’s gotta be the bad guy
Because there’s a difference between “dismissive” and “skeptical.” Your comment was dismissive whereas adj16’s was skeptical.
Yea the tone wasnt the most appealing, but the sentiment was there
And surprise surprise, when actual sentences are used to express full ideas and sentiments instead of just sarcasm, it gets accepted better, especially when it’s something that actually matters to folks.
Negative output = negative responses
It’s honestly the only response that a headline like that deserves though. And I bet most people thought too, I’m just the one who typed it out and put the target me.
It’s like, the most inoffensive comment ever though, which makes me find the reaction hilariously
Ok bro
See??? You’re getting it!
It is certainly early, they have not even tested it on animals. Many promising drugs either do not work as believed or have nasty side effects that make them unusable. But we humans have invented many other amazing things. While caution is warranted, just writing it off as impossible is also premature.
