As far as I can tell, there is nothing Drexler-ian nanotechish

made using standard principles, well known methods (lipsomes)
and maybe some state of the art techniques.

There are no assemblers from Mymetics.

somehow mimicry and nano stuff got crossed in mind: i hearby withdraw
the erroneous assumption, but don't the molecules imitate whatever the
researchers are trying to vaccinate against?
