Common Cold Vaccine Patent Registered by Scientist Who Discovered Body ‘Fights Disease in Wrong Way’
23rd April 2017
The common cold is considered difficult to treat and protect against because it has so many different strains.
But Professor Valenta told The Independent the body’s immune system tends to attack the centre of the virus, which isn’t the most effective way to fight the disease.
Instead, his vaccine focuses on the virus’s shell, which facilitates infection by attaching itself to mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, nasal passages and stomach.
