Lobotomy's were viewed to have so much high potential back in the day that they won the Nobel prize.

In true scientific fashion both sides would ideally just stick with the facts.

If we hadn't had a pandemic in which lots of people lost their collective minds and an irresponsible political machine that took advantage of that, mRNA would be pretty universally hailed as the miracle it is.

That aside, yes. Education is important. Sadly at least in the US some of the people who lost their minds are now in charge of such education.

Part of the pushback was the use of censorship apparatus during COVID. Science is supposed to be open to dispute, and silencing opposing opinions only adds to the conspiracy fuel.

That would be interesting because both of those have links to various late-life neurological conditions aa well.

Yeah, latent EBV would be great too since it seems to be one of the main causes of MS.

I believe this is already being researched with mRNA now, it would be amazing if it works out and we could treat all of these.

Not just those but there are various other lesser known latent viruses such as JC virus and BK virus. Most of us are infected with these viruses latently. For most of us, they do nothing (that we know of!) for life. For the immunosuppressed (eg AIDS, organ transplants), because there is no immune system to keep these viruses "latent", they do actually reactivate and cause problems. For viruses which operate by embedding themselves in the DNA itself, such that for some time the virus may only exist as information encoded in some nucleotides and not a physical virus, to cure that would be a powerful achievement
