Humans can fight off viruses simply by breathing

BOSTON — How hard is it for people to fight off a virus? Scientists at Harvard University say it’s actually as easy as breathing, literally. 

Their study reveals that the act of breathing generates immune responses that kill invading pathogens. In experiments, a “lung chip” that mimics the mechanical forces of breathing killed flu bugs. The discovery could lead to developing better medications for respiratory diseases, including COVID.

    Breathing helps, but we have 'vaccines' to stop that from working.

    Either way, you'll sure as hell live longer than if you don't breathe.

    Makes sense. It works the same way a woman can stop pregnancy by swallowing.

    The comments are exactly what you'd expect from Boston readers. It's embarrassing to be from there, so I'm moving.
