The Trump administration's project, Generation Gold Standard, aims to develop a universal flu vaccine that mitigates yearly strain updates while potentially protecting against various respiratory viruses. Despite its positive goal, it has raised eyebrows among experts due to its reliance on outdated vaccine technology involving whole killed viruses. While some vaccine experts express hope for investment in new influenza vaccines, there is confusion and concern regarding the methods proposed, as they seem to revert to technologies not commonly used in modern vaccine development.
"Generation Gold Standard is a paradigm shift, extending vaccine protection beyond strain-specific limits and preparing for flu viral threats not just today's, but tomorrow's."
"I'm glad to see that this administration is still wanting to invest in developing next-generation influenza vaccines or respiratory vaccines in general."
"This a head-scratcher to me. This is puzzling. We’re going back to technology that was used 40, 50 years ago or more."
