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

I'm at a loss of words with you saying that. If you aren't sure by now, then you haven't been paying any attention.
Better immunity? Those jabs NEVER provided any immunity.
That stuff provides zero immunity!
I am not terrified of needles, I am furious with liars. Liars that funded the creation of this bio weapon and lied to cover their tracks. Furious with the liars in the press and government that covered for them. Furious with the forced protocols of ventilators and remdesivir that murdered people. Furious with the liars that pushed a genetic therapy that had failed every animal trial that was pushed on the public. Furious with pfascists that harmed friends with heart attacks, pacemakers and facial paralysis. Furious with the liars that pushed a psyop to terrify people in giving up their freedoms and take a previously failed experimental gene therapy shot. Furious with the incestuous relationship of the CDC, FDA and drug companies for ignoring the warning signals of the shot. Furious with evil pfizer pfascists and moderna for using regulatory capture to push their untested product on a public fearful from psychological warfare used on them to terrify them. Furious with pfizer pfasicsts, moderna, fda and cdc for the faked trial data. Furious with the drug companies unblinding their trials, so as to hide the side effects in their clinical trials. Furious with the fascist politicians forcing shots or risking getting fired. Furious with the psyop mind numbing “safe and effective” mantra. Furious with useful idiots that took up for all of them. All liars who lie to further their agenda of profit and control.
Fear of needles? Fear of totalitarian pfascists is the truth. I will never forgive and never forget.
Let’s assume for a moment that you are what you say you are. Let’s assume you are a scientist and researcher of integrity. You play a game where you apply conventional vaccine behavior and understanding to a novel gene therapy with no history and compromised research as if it were truth. So you are either a useful idiot, one of the psyop team, or deluded in your integrity thinking that the other researchers share your personal integrity. Either way, you choose to ignore research that has come out that contradicts your reality and call the rest of us “antivaxxers” to excuse your pass to those who have lied, lied and lied again. Afraid of needles? Afraid NOT. Angry at liars and enablers?, you bet your life.
NEW?
NO SELL.
“I am not terrified of needles, I am furious with liars.”
BUMP!
Coming soon to a Walmart/Kroger/Costco/... ventilation system near you.
You play a game where you apply conventional vaccine behavior and understanding to a novel gene therapy with no history and compromised research as if it were truth.
Because I am a scientist and I spent years studying biochemistry and molecular biology, I happen to understand how these processes work. And, in case you can't figure it out, the action of the immune system once a vaccine is administered is a biochemical process. And the function of mRNA is a molecular biological process. Therefore, discussing it falls directly into my area of expertise.
mRNA does not and cannot affect the genes, which means it is not a gene therapy. Enzymes in the nucleus read the DNA in the nucleus and make RNA. The RNA is transported out of the nucleus into the cytosol. This is a one-way street; RNA does not reenter the nucleus. If the RNA codes for a protein, it is processed to make mRNA. The mRNA attaches to a ribosome and directs the production of a protein. Afterwards, it is destroyed. This happens trillions of times per day throughout your body.
This means that the mRNA based vaccine is utilizing a completely natural process that is always happening in your body.
"BUT! BUT!" you say, "it is SPIKE mRNA. It's DIFFERENT!"
No, it is not different. Biochemically, there is no component of that vaccine mRNA that does not naturally occur.
And here is something that the professional antivaxxers never tell you when they set out to scare your pants off: Viruses literally take over your cells and force them to make virus mRNA along with the virus genome (which can be DNA or RNA, depending on the virus). That viral mRNA is used to make all of the virus proteins (including spike, if it is a Covid virus). The virus is then packaged up with its proteins and genome to make new viruses. Once a few million of the new viruses are made, the cell bursts open to release those viruses. The new viruses can get in your blood and infect organs far away from where the original virus entered.
Imagine if that infection is taking place in your heart. That means viruses are killing your heart cells. The heart doesn't heal very quickly; what do you think the long-term consequences are of having Covid in your heart? Or in your kidney, lungs, nervous system, etc.?
And some viruses have the ability to insert themselves into your DNA. Papillomaviruses do that, and so do retroviruses. That makes these viruses natural gene therapies! Some viruses can hide in your body for decades and then suddenly flare up--shingles is caused by the same virus that caused you to get chickenpox when you were a kid.
It's funny that you would avoid taking a simple vaccine, but you have absolutely no fear of catching a virus that can kill you.
I stand by what I say. There must be some reason you are so ready to reject the medical science in favor of antivax propaganda. I believe that the reason most people turn to antivax/anti-medical propaganda is because they aren't just afraid, they are terrorized.
I should mention that you will never get an experimental vaccine unless you volunteer to participate in a clinical trial. It is illegal to use experimental drugs on people without their knowledge and informed consent.
Once a drug is given FDA approval, it is no longer experimental, by definition.
Also, antivax professionals have stuck the word "experimental" in front of "vaccine" for decades. It doesn't matter how well tested the vaccine was or how long it has been on the market, they put that word there. That is a form of psychological manipulation, to make you equate getting vaccinated with, for example, being subjected involuntarily to experimentation as occurred in Tuskegee in the 1930s. Those professional antivaxxers have a strong interest in making more people die from infectious disease.
Not quite.
When someone resorts to ad hominem insults, I know that they have no evidence to show that anything I said was wrong. I also know that they are so steeped in conspiracy theories and antivax/anti-medical propaganda that it would seriously hurt their pride to admit that they have believed lies. So they insult me. /shrug
So you’re not REALLY an “ex” Dem, right?
Which lies would those be?
In specific.
Because gross generalities are no more persuasive than ad hominems, are they. :-)
“Those jabs NEVER provided any immunity.”
They inhibited natural immunity.
That’s a scary thought.
“Because I am a scientist and I spent years studying biochemistry and molecular biology”
Oh puh-leeze.
First of all, I am not "anti-vax". I am anti-bullsh*t, unsafe, untested, ineffective, and unnecessary "COVID" "vaccines".
Second, I guess you haven't noticed that in the past several years, "medical science" thoroughly beclowned itself in pursuit of government cheese.
Third, the only propaganda here is yours. There is literally ZERO data (at least, unmanipulated data) showing that the "COVID" "vaccines" have ANY positive effect on either severity, "risk of hospitalization", or death.
Just give it a rest already. Too many people have had too much time to filter the propaganda, and too much time to see for themselves how "safe" and "effective" the "COVID" "vaccines" actually are. Some of us knew they were b.s. from the beginning, simply because of how desperate the government was to force everyone to get them.
EVERYTHING about "COVID" (and the "vaccines") is a LIE. It isn't hard to see.
So, have you read a single research study that I have linked in previous posts? It looks like you probably haven't. So you can't actually say whether those studies were done in a rigorous fashion, if the study design was good and data analysis appropriate, or if the researcher's conclusions were scientifically valid and reasonable.
I *only* present the scientific side.
Since you cannot demonstrate that I have told any falsehoods, simply rejecting my explanations out of hand is not a valid argument. If you want to debunk anything I have said, use the science against me. Show where I have said that a study shows the exact opposite of what its authors said.
You are going to have to be more specific than that. I was making a statement about the behavior of people when they cannot counter the scientific data that I have explained to them. This is not a “gross generality” but an observation (made over the course of years of debunking medical misinformation).
I can and do get very specific when I discuss the science.
Thank you for confirming bot status…using many of the AI/bot generated phrases ;-)
Carry on!
Really? What phrases, specifically, are those? Where is your forensic evidence that I am anything other than a retired scientist who spends time debunking medical misinformation? More importantly, where is your evidence that any of the medical literature which I have linked is created through AI? You can follow the links and read the literature for yourself... it should be obvious if it is AI generated, shouldn't it?
