"While dozens of poxviruses exist, vaccinia is one that is easily attenuated or weakened, making it safe for humans and ideal for vaccine production.
By modifying its DNA, MacNeill plans to transform vaccinia into a vehicle that carries the coronavirus spike protein into the human body when administered. Though the spike protein alone does not cause infection, the immune system recognizes the protein as coronavirus and creates antibodies to fight it off, priming the body for any future encounters with the whole virus."
