Novel nasal COVID-19 vaccine offers longer, better immunity than jabs
New Atlas ^ | January 10, 2024 | Paul McClure

Researchers have developed an intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that enhances the immune system’s response to the virus, providing longer-lasting, greater protection than vaccine injections, even against new and emerging variants. The novel vaccine candidate could mean fewer boosters in future.

While the immediate threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has dissipated somewhat, with most returning to their pre-COVID lives, the continued rise of new virus variants means that vaccination is still necessary to protect the vulnerable in the community, such as the elderly and frail and those with pre-existing medical conditions.

Breakthrough as hugely promising weight-loss compound made in yeast Although many vaccines are available now that show protection in terms of significantly reducing infections, hospitalizations, deaths and virus transmission, breakthrough infections still occur, suggesting there are limitations to the duration of protection afforded by current vaccine regimes. So, in a study led by Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, researchers set about developing and testing a COVID-19 vaccine that’s delivered intranasally with the hope that it’s more effective.

“Our data show that, compared to subcutaneous vaccination, the intranasal route improved the response of certain immune cells, known as T cells, which reduced disease severity,” said Ashley St. John, corresponding author of the study. “Not only that, but it also resulted in a greater number of T central memory cells compared to subcutaneous vaccination, which could lead to longer-lasting protection.”

Given that SARS-CoV-2 infection is initiated at the mucosal surface of the nasal passages and lung airways, you’d expect that a vaccine delivered into the nose – right at the point where the virus enters the body – would be more effective than one injected into the skin or muscle.

As expected, the researchers found that after testing their vaccine candidate on hamsters, nasal administration boosted

Saw where Mexican/American actor/singer Marco (was in X-Men and other movies) died, recently, of a turbo cancer, at 42.

And, heard that Michael Strahan’s young daughter (college age) has been diagnosed with a turbo cancer.

:-(

We must live in miraculous times! So many “vaccines” for a cold virus!

When I was brought up, we were told there could never be one.

And get a load of what they’re using for an adjuvant...

What is the adjuvant? I read the article and the only thing I saw mentioned was IgG. Is there something else, or is that it?

If it’s mRNA based, it’s not a vaccine,but is gene therapy. And the jab injections are not vaccines, and stimulate no immunity anyway. Claiming better immunity is like selling someone snake oil wild elephant repellent in any county in the US. It must be working since there are no loose wild elephants.

Maybe combine it with meth or fentanyl. Would have wide appeal in cities. Efficiently up the snoot.🐽

True. I try hard to say “the jab” after hearing an MD named Dr.Dave Janda who has a right wing radio show. The station says “The following program does not represent the views or opinions of the advertisers or ownership of this station.”
Kind of show I like.

Am I correct in thinking this isn’t mRNA based? The article doesn’t seem to indicate that it is. Not sure if it makes it any better.

If it's got Fauxci's fingerprints on it, it's poison. Bank on it.

Longer, better immunity than the jab?

So, it lasts 10 minutes, and protects you from nothing?

“I suspect that a lot of people are primed to believe antivax propaganda because they are terrified of needles and are looking for an excuse to not get poked.”

I’ve had plenty of needles (blood tests, anesthesia, tetanus, etc.). I’m not afraid of them. Like most rational people, I don’t need fear of needles as a reason not to get the useless, unsafe, ineffective, EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine”.
