Why is it difficult to develop a universal flu vaccine?
Comparing the number of infections, people catch cold so much more often than flu .Why haven’t we spent time and effort on developing vaccines to the cold virus ? a)The cold viral particle change over time, too difficult to develop a vaccine b)The cold viral remain stable over time and lose their ability to infect human over time c)The cold viral particle constantly change over time , catch a cold virus will result in vaccination for a long time d)There are too many strains of the cold virus and the symptoms are mild
An epidemiological study of 500 men between the ages of 20 and 65 years of age revealed a correlation between an increased consumption of tomatoes and a lower incidence of prostate cancer. The results of this study do not prove that increased tomato consumption lowers the risk for prostate cancer because:
A) The study shows a correlation between two factors that may or may not actually have an effect on each other.
B) The study does not show how tomatoes lower prostate cancer risk.
C) A single study cannot provide enough evidence to conclusively prove an effect.
D) All of the above are valid reasons.
