Stockholm, Sweden – The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to present a special Lifetime Achievement award to Common Cold in the category of Physiology or Medicine for it's work in eluding a cure throughout human history. During its rise to the most common ailment to afflict the human population, Common Cold has inspired pseudo medicines, remedies, therapies, bogus medications and cures to combat it's symptoms.
No disease's cure has stumped mankind for centuries like Common Cold has. Billions of dollars are spend annually by universities and commercial biotechnology departments to develop a vaccine for Common Cold. Additionally, even more money is spent on over the counter pseudo- medicines, remedies, therapies to combat Common Cold's symptoms. What's more, no disease has cost more lost days of work or school (hundreds of million of lost days annually).
Throughout human existence, no disease has impacted human society as efficiently as Common Cold. Any of it's 200+ virus strains can strike a person, family, or social circle as has Common Cold. No disease has supported or inspired generations in fields of family medicine, biotechnology, or homeopathy. It is with great honor the Lifetime Achievement award in Physiology or Medicine is presented to Common Cold.
