Welcome to Hotel California!
Your article reminded me of something I saw in a local newsfeed a day or two ago.
https://www.nbc29.com/2021/12/01/update-uvas-research-behind-potential-covid-19-vaccine-capable-against-any-variant/
I saw the headline (didn't read the article), but at the time, wondered more if local universities/news were publishing similar local research articles in their own hometowns.
Evidently they are!
Makes me wonder what other local research is being highlighted across the country without national headlines.
