Headline "protects against".
Lede paragraph: "could one day protect against".
Article: "in mice"
Yes, please. We've been absolutely rocked by the recent plague circulating around schools
How can a nasal spray protect against bullets?
Maybe the spray has PCP in it so you just don't care about being shot.
You are assuming they are American.
Americans aren't too picky about who they shoot
As a fun science experiment, try popping a balloon at your local mall
Conspiracy theory that it turns you gay/gives you cancer/makes you a pod person coming in 3, 2, 1....
I'm withholding any opinion until I hear from the head of the FDA who has surely been using the US government's teams of hundreds of scientists to get the best Gold standard science on this technology
What is RFK Jr stance on it? 🤣
“It’s good if it goes up the nose.”
If they can somehow create a powdered version it may finally get him on board
It only just struck me. The federal government is currently headed by several “where is Ja Rule” level incompetents. Enough of the funny, I really, really want to go back to the boring government.
The only thing the FDA needs to hear is that this will make a lot of money for the shareholders.
Oddly enough, I have a strong feeling this will get marginally more support and a warmer reception than injectable vaccines.
Source: I've argued with dozens of people about vaccines in real life, and 90% of them were JUST scared of needles and injections and just built giant palaces of rationalization that consumed their whole lives to validate that fear. You know who doesn't give a shit about vaccines even if they're conservative? Diabetics who have to inject insulin every day.
It drove me nuts in the early days of the COVID vaccine and some study came out showing that a lot of the people against the vaccine were really just afraid of needles, but had a good chance to get their courage up if the news media would just stop plastering pictures of needles in every story about the vaccine. So, what did the news media do? They just kept right on throwing pictures of needles on every story.
I am afraid of needles too but that didn't stop me from getting the vaccine because I'm more afraid of fucking dying.
This is an interesting notion I hadn't considered at all, you may be on to something there.
Wait, really? I need something to fortify my homosexuality. Wanna make sure I’m not catching feelings for men.
Don’t forget, 6G.
10G BABY
Tell Kennedy it has cocaine and it'll get approved
A composition of cocaine, roadkill, raw milk and sewage water and he's sold.
Mention added immunity from toilet seats for bonus points.
Compatible with any disgusting toilet seat that you may want to ingest anything off of, it's really great. Top big time #1 Mr. President! sir! I am crying! I want to kiss you! Many people are saying!
Alright

With three doses, the mice remained protected from SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses for at least three months.
Big pharma whips out their calculator, their eyes grow larger and larger as they excitedly do the math.
Doesn't it make more sense to view this as something you'd only apply to yourself in the winter months and whenever there's a sporadic uptick in respiratory diseases in your area, though?
Stanford has a constant habit of lying in press releases. Don’t bother reading what they publish until someone else reproduces their work.
Yes please.
the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months
I can see this working against bacteria and viruses but how does it block allergens? Isn't an overly strong immune reaction how they start to begin with?
Yes, allergies are a form of auto immune disorder.
This! Went from so hopeful to devastated so fast — covid gave me autoimmune nightmare syndromes, and immunosuppressants are one of very few things to have actually helped me gain a tiny bit of my life back. Boosting immune system? Nooo thank you.
If it stops transmission, then that’s still good for those of us who can’t get it, but plenty of vaccines don’t unfortunately. They’re still very worth getting and keeping up to date with boosters if you can
This is PR bullshit from Stanford, in mice.
Can they add this to the chemtrail vape juice so I dont have to go get it myself? /$
ONE DAY, they announced something similar a few years ago, but no new info came out.
Needles put a lot off people off and it‘s especially confronting to parents with babies and toddlers. Very hopeful.
Cool, where do I sign up?
At your local Kid Rock concert
did they link the paper somewhere?
Ad some Ozempic and I'm sold
