British scientists are beginning a small study comparing how two experimental coronavirus vaccines might work when they are inhaled by people instead of being injected.

In a statement on Monday, researchers at Imperial College London and Oxford University said a trial involving 30 people would test vaccines developed by both institutions when participants inhale the droplets in their mouths, which would directly target their respiratory systems.

Larger studies of the Imperial and Oxford vaccine are already under way, but this study aims to see if the vaccines might be more effective if they are inhaled. […]

The study is currently recruiting participants aged 18 to 55 and hopes to begin vaccinating people in London in the coming weeks.

Previous studies have shown vaccines delivered by inhalation require lower doses than by injection, which might help stretch limited supplies. …

Let me predict

1. I won’t take it. No one can force this
2. I’m not taking anything that will change my DNA
3. Inhaled! Probably more dangerous than injected. No way!!
4. Bill gates.
5. Government will force this on us.
6. 30 patients not enough
7. Let see in six years If people grow a penis out of their forehead

My prediction for the pearl clutching comments

Doesn’t that indicate it doesn’t work well as is? Interesting.

Remember the "thank you" tour of the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds over all of our major cities this past Spring and early Summer?

What better cover story to spray the population centers with Anti-COVID Chemtrails?

No, if you read the article is says that a lower dose may be required by inhaled route which would extend a finite supply to more people.
