Headlines across our Australian newspapers today discuss an EBV vaccine that they hope will prevent Multiple Sclerosis in years to come.

We all know that a vaccine has been talked about for ages now, and whether or not one actually comes to fruition or not, remains to be seen. I did however think you might like to read what we are hearing and seeing here in Oz today.

Researchers from the University of Queensland yesterday confirmed a link between the Epstein-Barr virus, which causes glandular fever and is
carried by more than 90 per cent of the world's population, and multiple
sclerosis, saying the vaccine, developed to combat glandular fever,
could save thousands of lives.

I'm not sure what they mean when they say "could save thousands of lives".... maybe they could have phrased that a bit better to say something like...prevent hundreds of people being diagnosed with MS every year. JMHO.
