For years, Americans were told their only hope was to roll up their sleeves for Pfizer, Moderna, and the rest of the vaccine cartel.
Trillions of dollars flowed into their coffers while dissenting doctors were silenced, families were divided, and countless workers lost their jobs under vaccine mandates.
However, a peer-reviewed study out of Germany now shows that a cheap, decades-old nasal spray, azelastine, may do what the so-called ‘miracle’ experimental COVID jabs never accomplished: stop infection.
According to new findings published in JAMA Internal Medicine this week, all it may have taken to block infections was a $10 bottle of over-the-counter nasal spray used for seasonal allergies.
Researchers at Saarland University Hospital in Germany ran a phase 2 double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial on 450 healthy adults between March 2023 and July 2024.
Participants were randomly divided into two groups:
227 volunteers received azelastine nasal spray (a common antihistamine used for allergies) three times a day. 223 volunteers got a placebo spray. All participants were tested for COVID twice per week for nearly two months.
The difference was undeniable:
Infections in the placebo group: 15 out of 223 people (6.7%) caught COVID. Infections in the azelastine group: Only 5 out of 227 people (2.2%) got infected. That’s a 67% reduction in risk of infection. The odds ratio came out to 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11–0.87; P = .02), meaning the nasal spray cut the likelihood of catching COVID by more than two-thirds, statistically significant.
Not only were fewer people infected, but those who did get sick had longer protection before infection (31 days on average versus 19 days in the placebo group) and shorter illness duration when measured by rapid tests (3.4 days vs 5.1 days).
The spray didn’t just block COVID. It also:
Cut symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections from 6.3% (placebo) down to 1.8%. Reduced rhinovirus (common cold) infections from 6.3% to 1.8%. Slashed the overall number of PCR-confirmed infections (COVID + other respiratory viruses) from 22% in placebo to 9.3% with azelastine.

Azelastine Nasal Spray for Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infections A Phase 2 Randomized Clinical Trial
It may be OTC in Germany but it does not appear to be so here.
There’s an otc version in the US as well. Not as potent as the script version
Search for “Astepro Allergy”. Looks OTC.
It is sold here as “Astepro”, among other names.
Check the ingredient list.
One of the reasons we are trillions in the hole with our deficit.
I have used it for a couple years. It marginally seems to help my allergies.
Where are the $hot $hill$ ??

Peter McCullough is big advocate for nasal mists. However, he does it on the cheap with a diluted povidone-iodine and distilled water mixture. It has to be significantly diluted to avoid nasal burning of the delicate nasal membrane. I use it before I go out in the public. I have a small glass bottle I can carry in my pocket with a nasal pump/mister cap
When I got full blown Covid-19, I took Benadryl, and it worked. Kept it out of my lungs and stopped the drainage. Got rid of the dry cough.
But why take an antihistamine when you can take diamine oxidase enzyme and get rid of histamines in your body rather than just block the histamine receptor.
There are 4 types of histamine receptors throughout the body. They are in the brain, sinuses, lungs, stomach, heart, and the mast cells all over the body.
I’m pretty sure that the heart damage caused by Covid-19 was due to the histamine receptors in the AV node of the heart. The AV node is the heart’s pacemaker and when the histamine receptors in it are stimulated it causes a premature firing through the Purkinje fibers without sufficient charge for a full ventricle contraction to pump the blood.
My heart arrhythmia stopped when I took the diamine oxidase enzyme and my energy returned.
Walgreens has it and it has a coupon
so, how many people are going to spray this stuff in each nostril three times a day for the rest of their lives?
Small sample. I wouldn’t expect that GP has ever heard of MOE, much less understand how to apply it.
I believe Bangladesh did a push for nasal sprays during COVID and had great outcomes for the populations prior to getting the vaccines.
Azelastine is a second-generation H1 histamine receptor antagonist that works by blocking the effects of histamine and other inflammatory substances in the body. It is commonly used as a nasal spray or eye drops to treat allergy symptoms.
Mechanism of action
Azelastine’s effectiveness is due to a multi-pronged approach that targets different aspects of the allergic response:
H1-receptor blocker: It is a selective antagonist of the H1 histamine receptor, meaning it competes with histamine to prevent it from binding to these receptors.
This action provides rapid relief from itching, sneezing, and runny nose.
Mast cell stabilizer: It prevents mast cells from releasing inflammatory mediators like histamine, which helps to inhibit the allergic reaction at an early phase.
Anti-inflammatory effects: Azelastine also blocks the action of other allergy-related substances, such as leukotrienes and cytokines, which contributes to its overall anti-inflammatory effects.
Histamine and cytokines interact in an important bidirectional network, with histamine influencing cytokine production and release in allergic inflammation and other immune responses.
Histamine, released by cells like mast cells, can promote Th2 cytokines (like IL-4 and IL-5) and inhibit Th1 cytokines (like IFN-γ), shifting immune responses toward allergic conditions.
Conversely, some cytokines can modulate histamine production, further illustrating the complex interplay between these molecules in various physiological and pathological processes, including allergic diseases and potentially cytokine storms in viral infections.
