It is not a cure for the reasons others in this thread have stated. It doesn't repair damage already done, it only prevents the disease from advancing. That's still a huge deal, though.

    But when it comes to type 1 diabetes the cause is the body destroying beta cells in the pancreas and everything else is a symptom of that. If you can make the body "forget" killing beta cells (like the article states the anti-vaccine would, or rather teach the body to not kill) then it would make sense for the body to recover and repair the damage done.

    Wouldn't it then be a cure?

    Yes, from what I know about type 1 diabetes is that once your immune system stops destroying your beta-cells, they regenerate. So that would solve your type 1 diabetes. And you'd have as big a chance of type 2 diabetes as the next guy. And isn't that the dream 🙂 So 🤞
