Together On the Vaccine Trail

They know not everything, this time
Baffled that viruses and some folk actually rhyme
A virus has populations fully beat
Antibodies at the heart of the vaccine feat

Antibodies to which protein in the viral proteome?
Produced by which part of the  human genome?
The questions come quickly to mind
Can we join them in the find?

For too long we have been lab rats of a kind
They studied diseases among us they could find
Now we posit, the tables have turned
Black lives matter, black brains can't be spurned
