12. How do vaccines work on a cellular level?

 

No one knows. For example New Scientist Magazine (May 27, 2000) in an article entitled "Behind the Magic," Philippe Kourilsky, director of the Paris-based Pasteur Institute discusses vaccinations saying: "1'm amazed by the amount of basic science we don't know. "

In the same paper Neal Nathanson, director of the US Office of AIDS Research says:

The assumption that successful vaccines work by simply producing antibodies is almost certainly wrong.

The Hepatitis B vaccine, says Nathanson, possibly works by:

Probably stimulat[ing] some protective effect relying on killer T cells. But no one knows how it does it or what exactly the process is - even though the vaccine has been widely used for nearly ten years.
