I am skeptical of things that sound too good to be true, and also I feel like the current US government would fuck it up, but maybe things won't be terrible forever.

Time is a flat circle.
All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.
(The government fucking everything up, I mean)
What do you mean by "flat"? A circle is by definition two dimensional.
It means you get to view the circle side-on, and watch history oscillate back and forth like the red light on KITT from Knight Rider, or the Cylon eye.
The opposite of "thicc".
This would be huge.
Mmm I'm interested to see how the human trials go. It's an interesting idea. Remove the sugars that block a conserved target so you generate antibodies to said conserved target. It's odd to me that this works as well against wild virus that doesn't have the sugars removed. Mechanistically, I'd assume the sugars still block that conserved target in wild virus so the antibodies targeting other less conserved parts are still doing the heavy lifting but then you wouldn't have the cross recognition...idk.
