#12For the sake of discussion, which age would you want to pause at? 16, 24 for insurance reasons?

#13How is this different from taking Senolytics? Is it that the vaccine helps your body fight senescent cells rather than having Senolytics remove them?

#15> A Japanese research team said it developed a vaccine to remove so-called zombie cells that accumulate with age So it's designed to make humans immortal? Sounds like it's more likely to create zombies than destroy them. I half suspected the article to say that this vaccine was a product of the Umbrella Corporation.
It will hardly make a human immortal. That's just fixing one problem with the human body, if the vaccine's promise is to be believed.
It will probably be incredibly cheap to make and administer, but not a silver bullet.

It's probably not a good idea to get every single vaccines that's not recommended to you by the CDC/your doctor. Vaccines could potentially trigger some dangerous side effects, however rare it is.
don't drive cars, they can crash and it can be fatal while having other side effects, however rare they are.
This but unironically

Haha of course it is... Whenever you see an amazing research result you immediately know it's in mice.
If I want to be a bit cynical... In the future we will likely find that these cells serve an important purpose and that we can't just eliminate them. The research needs to be done though!

Taking vaccine is a cost/benefit tradeoff, even if the tradeoff is often lopsided in favor of vaccine.
However, vaccine for incredibly rare or non-existent disease isn't likely worth the tradeoff. Or maybe a particular vaccine is too dangerous or experimental.
Anyway, if the CDC recommend a vaccine for something, it's likely that they had looked into it and decided that the upside is worth more than the risk.

This doesn't work like that
