"Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies (IgYs) block the binding of multiple SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variants to human ACE2"

Thats an interesting point about chicken egg yolks since eggs are also a good source of immune system-strengthening vitamin D.

Vitamin D, now conclusive (2.1.23)

Drink eggnog. The rum will kill the bacteria, no need to pasteurize.

That requires 3 weeks planning ahead. If you accidentally run out, a scoop of premium French vanilla ice cream generously bathed in rum has nearly the same health benefits.

Isn’t the government that started the “egg yolks are bad for you” campaign years ago?

Glad I never listen to gooberment advice.

I read the summary (which is research from 2020) and it's hard to decipher if they used raw eggs to extract the IgY. “ maximum inhibition of 75.86%...only about 10% of the IgYs specifically recognized SARS-CoV-2, and the proportion of IgYs with neutralizing activity was even lower...The use of IgYs in aerosol or spray formulations on the respiratory tract, the oral cavity, and even the digestive tract may be a worthwhile strategy.”

Some asian cultures enjoy raw eggs on their rice dishes; it's an acquired taste. Eggs in asia are almost all unpasteurized eggs; commercial eggs in the US are all pasteurized (and why they have to be refrigerated). The study doesn't say if the egg IgY’s are affected by pasteurization.

“2) Are the ChiComs killing our chickens because Yolks are beneficial to blocking or stopping covid ?”

Bingo... I went down that Rabbit Hole a couple days ago... Looks like the theory could be correct.

“And now you know why they have destroyed so many chickens and egg producing facilities.”

I’ve got friends in El Salvador. I’ll roll the dice but thanks for your concern.

Wouldn’t want to spray raw eggs into my sinuses and lungs. Not sure if salmonella would like it there.
Hold my nasal spray and watch this.
