“It is not given to everyone to have his private tasks of meditation and reflection so happily coincident with the public interest that it becomes difficult to judge how far he serves merely himself and how far the public good.” Immanuel Kant

compartments

The IgG that BCG evokes,
Protects from miliary-type TB.
Americans won't line up for more pokes
that can't defend lung-surface from disease.
Mucosa are patrolled by IgA
Which won't provoke a storm of cytokines.
Vaccines one'd aerosolize and inhale
Might be the weapons that could hold that line.
The race is on against this novel plague
it's possible no sera will avail.
Projections at this research stage are vague;
perhaps not every one of them need fail.
This pathogen will go on kicking ass
until we mount the right globulin class.
