Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic fueled one of the quickest vaccine developments in history. Misinformation on online social media often leads to negative vaccine sentiment. We conducted a sentiment analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic modeling from Reddit communities focusing on the COVID-19 vaccine. Polarity analysis suggested these communities expressed positive sentiment regarding the vaccine. However, topic modeling revealed community members mainly focused on the side effects and vaccination experience.

NK Cells
NK cells are a crucial part of our innate immune system, acting as the first line of defense against viral infections. These cells can recognize and kill infected cells without prior exposure to the virus, effectively slowing down the spread of infection. Additionally, NK cells produce proinflammatory...
