I thought so too, but it looks like they’re trying to stimulate the immune response directly, rather than teaching it to fight a threat.

The new vaccine stimulates multiple parts of the immune system that appear to account for the broad protection in mice.

Sounds like a great way to trigger an autoimmune response. But, if it works safely, then great news.
