Ivermectin Suppression and Anti-CRISPR Protein Research

The FDA and GAVI (The Vaccine Alliance) issued warnings against using Ivermectin for COVID-19, with the FDA specifically highlighting the dangers of using animal-grade versions of the drug. Simultaneously, research published in Chemical & Engineering News discusses the emergence of anti-CRISPR proteins. These naturally occurring proteins can potentially inhibit the gene-editing capabilities of CRISPR technology, which is a foundational tool for mRNA development.
