The coronavirus vaccines, in contrast, are injected deep into the muscles and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. This appears to be enough protection to keep the vaccinated person from getting ill.
Some of those antibodies will circulate in the blood to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized, or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others.
“It’s a race: It depends whether the virus can replicate faster, or the immune system can control it faster,” said Marion Pepper, an immunologist at the University of Washington in Seattle. “It’s a really important question.”
This is why mucosal vaccines, like the nasal spray FluMist or the oral polio vaccine, are better than intramuscular injections at fending off respiratory viruses, experts said.
The next generation of coronavirus vaccines may elicit immunity in the nose and the rest of the respiratory tract, where it’s most needed. Or people could get an intramuscular injection followed by a mucosal boost that produces protective antibodies in the nose and throat.
The coronavirus vaccines have proved to be powerful shields against severe illness, but that is no guarantee of their efficacy in the nose. The lungs — the site of severe symptoms — are much more accessible to the circulating antibodies than the nose or throat, making them easier to safeguard.
... Dr. Bhattacharya said he was encouraged by recent work showing that people who received an intramuscular flu vaccine had abundant antibodies in the nose. And a study of Covid-19 patients found that antibody levels in saliva and blood were closely matched — suggesting that a strong immune response in the blood would also protect mucosal tissues.
They can't have us not wearing masks. They lose the visuals in their control scenario.
You sound like Fauxci.

So what is the point of the vaccine?
“Some of those antibodies will circulate in the blood to the nasal mucosa and stand guard there, but it’s not clear how much of the antibody pool can be mobilized, or how quickly. If the answer is not much, then viruses could bloom in the nose — and be sneezed or breathed out to infect others. “
More mere guessing without evidence.
If the vaccine does keep an infected person asymptomatic it is the vast majority of time keeping that persons viral load lower than it what it takes for transmission to someone else, otherwise the vaccine would not be doing well enough and the person would be observably ill from the virus.
The stuff I hear about this bug sounds a lot like the muzzies and their religious bulls-—t...
“Keep the dogs away! Mo ham head hated them!”
The whole thing has sounded like 8 servings a bulls—t in March and it sure sounds like the conveniences for our betters behind this planned demic sure are serendipitous...
We are so tired of this crap! You might as well say, “why indefinite lockdowns of ALL small and medium sized businesses must be perpetuated...”
Just for everyone’s edification.
1. As a % of the total population, the Wuhan Virus will be shown to be, as no more deadly than the seasonal flu.
2. I have never had any flu vaccine and never had the flu.
3. There are millions like me.
4. A sister of mine and her daughter have the flu vaccine every year and every year they have the flu at some time - which they excuse as “at least it would have been worse if we hadn’t had the vaccine”. The excuse has no science to it.
Maybe they would just like us to wear a yellow star....
All good, post-modern, robot comrades are required to wear masks forever.
Big Brother has spoken !
How about we just shoot the politicians and stop wearing these useless masks?
Hope Apoorva wore a mask while writing this because I smell shite...
mask = mosque = slave
“That leaves open the possibility that some vaccinated people get infected without developing symptoms”
Does the vaccine really work, we already having people being infected without showing symptoms?
This takes us back to the time when we were fighting a disease without symptoms in the 1980’s.
Everyone’s wearing a damn mask, why do we have high numbers of people affected? Does that mean we should wear two masks that don’t work? It’s obvious to me that they’re not working!
New York’s own stats show medical is the second highest according to their own contact tracing. Are nurses and doctors not wearing N95 masks? Don’t think so.
What’s the new flu strain this year? Why get the vaccine if they’re stealing freedom anyway? What are the benefits? Is there really nanobots in the vaccine?
I’ve begun to understand the medical side( thanks FReeper docs who have educated me) but how much is behavioral and government? Is this really a reset or will this all be rolled back? If government doesn’t mandate and businesses do how much freedom to buy and sell will there be? Mandated masks forever via China and Kamala?
Practice burka
It’s jut adorable when people think we will ever be “allowed” to get back to normal. So cute!
