Emet promised land in the near future?

So, I was perusing the net a few days back and I stumbled across the emetophobes holy grail, the lost crystal skull, the proverbial "thors mighty hammer" in the emetophobic pursuit to rid themselves of the dreaded vomiting sickness.

read it and (quite literally, lol) weep

Wow...

for those of you who are also linkophobic, allow me to pull a quote from the article

"Doctors from the University of Cincinnati claim that a new vaccine for norovirus reduces the symptoms by more than half. For anyone suffering from this severe gastrointestinal (GI) infection, this will be welcome news. [snip]
In a randomized, multi-center study, 98 people agreed to drink water containing a significant dose of the virus. Of these, 50 received the injected vaccine and 48 received a placebo injection that did not contain the vaccine.
Neither the participants nor the researchers knew in advance who received the vaccine and who did not. In the vaccine group, 26 (52%) were infected, as were 29 (60%) of those in the non-vaccine group.
In people who received the vaccine, 10 (20%) suffered from mild, moderate or severe vomiting and/or diarrhea, versus 20 (42%) in the non-vaccine group - a 52% reduction in symptoms."

Wow that is absolutely amazing news. Imagine a winter without having to worry about every door handle, every restaurant, every suspicious looking puddle of muck that you walk past...Its like emetophobe paradise! a 50 percent reduction in symptoms! Of course, the test has to be replicated, and more study of the vaccine is required to understand its potential side effects for consumers, but a reduction of symptoms by 50 percent is pretty damn good for an experimental vaccine.
