Finally a vaccine to banish Covid for good? Nasal spray reduces risk of infection 86% — nearly DOUBLE protection given by shot in arm
Daily Mail ^ | February 24, 2023 | Cassidy Morrison

A nasal vaccine that could finally curb Covid infections is one step closer to a reality after promising early trial results.

The inhaled vaccine, made by researchers in Georgia, successfully reduced the risk of symptomatic Covid infections by 86 percent for three months in people who received it as a booster - almost double the protection the mRNA boosters provide.

While still in early stages, it is an exciting development that could prove more effective than the booster doses administered as injections.

The nasal, or ‘mucosal’ vaccines are appealing for their ability to prime immune cells in the mucous membranes that line the nostril cavities and the mouth where the coronavirus first enters the body, and stop the virus in its tracks.

Nasal vaccines such as the one currently in development at Georgia-based startup Blue Lake Biotechnology Inc. concentrate the immune protection in the upper airways, positioning powerful antibodies right on the frontlines.

In their phase 1 trial starting in August 2021, researchers at Blue Lake Biotechnology included 72 participants ages 18 to 55 who had already received two doses of an mRNA vaccine as well as unvaccinated healthy people.

They plan to expand the sample size and will continue recruiting subjects through December.

The vaccine technology relies on a type of parainfluenza virus that has been encoded with Covid’s trademark spike protein to train the immune system to recognize and fight it off.

Once the vaccine contents are inhaled, little bits of the parainfluenza virus replicate inside the nasal cavity to such an extent that it triggers an immune response without actually getting the person sick.

Dr Biao He, founder and CEO of Blue Lake Biotechnology said: ‘We were pleasantly surprised to see indications of a protective effect in this Phase 1 trial.’

You don’t know jack

They people I’ve known that have had it said they’d never been that sick before. A few didn’t end up in hospital but most did

It ain’t just another cold. It isn’t over in a few days

I was vaccinated twice, and subsequently suffered two separate bouts of respiratory failure. I was brought to the hospital, where they immediately attempted to intubate me, and put me on a ventilator. Both my daughter and sister are advanced RN’s (APRN) and demanded the hospital cease attempting to intubate me and forced the hospital to place me on non-invasive ventilation, using a bipap machine, and high flow oxygen. It saved my life. The hospital was angling for the automatic $30,000 they get for intubating me. It’s also been determined that many of the fatalities from COVID were as a result of many small blood clots formed from mechanical ventilation. BIPAP is the only way to go, insist on it, for yourself and loved ones who may come down with COVID.

bet you this nasal spray will cause sinus infections or inflame the brain

I don’t put a damn thing past the covid scammers anymore.

There’s an old joke about suppositories. Something along the lines of they are hard to swallow and for all the good they do, you might as well shove them in your butt. Sorry but your post made me smile hugely.

I already have my protection: saline nasal rinse.

Viruses enter the body many ways. Inhalation, mouth, eyes. Thinking that having a protective immune response in the nasal passage is gonna stop a virus is nonsense. If inhaled, the virus can get deep into the lung. Virus that goes through the mouth or eyes won’t even be noticed by any immune cell in the nasal passage. Whoever wrote the report doesn’t understand this. The BUTAGIEG of reporting.
A systemic immunity(i.e. circulating immune cells) is necessary.
But on paper it does sound better than putting mRNA potentially in many of your cells. Still need to prove little toxicity.
The best they could have done was denatured the spike protein and nucleocapsids of the virus (so that they are not viable) and used that to stimulate antibodies). They should checked out known reservoirs of the virus in the wild to check for natural mutations instead of mutating it in a lab.
IMHO

More opportunistic BS

18 - 55 YO...

Crazy that I have too many friends/acquaintances in that age group that recently died from heart attacks, and quite unlike the fatality trends from the years prior.

You vaxholes — GTH

Two weeks to control the spread.

Safe and effective.

The Feline nasal vaccine against the Coronavirus was useless in less than a year. Meh...The first trials with it had the same positive results but in a year...

My only regret - I did not distrust the Government enough.

I’d much prefer Dr. Biao He over the next generation of doctors:

You and I don’t live far from each other but must run in very different circles.

Was mild for us. 24 hours for DH and I, a few days for my frail, bedridden 82 FIL. None of us vaxxed. Used the FLCCC protocol. I only knew two people hospitalized from Covid pre-vax roll out, both obese and had other conditions.

Every single person I know , except one, that was hospitalized or died from Covid was vaccinated. Every vaxxed and boosted person I know has had Covid multiple times and it seems to stretch on for weeks. I tracked it for months on the GA DPH and over time the vaxxed hospital stats surpassed the unvaxxed. They quit posting the results after that.

I asked my FIL’s HCW about it and she said that was her experience as well. She left her position at a local hospital because she wouldn’t get the shot and saw the effects in too many patients. Her home health agency did not require it.

We ended up getting Covid from a vaxxed hospice nurse. She recently left that agency now because she has new heart issues and does not want to get boosters.

Probably just flushes the microsoptic “gunk” which a PCR “test” would otherwise detect.

No “positives” = no cases.

My daughter was an ICU nurse at the time
She saw plenty

I took the vax. Have had no side effects. Have not had Covid know ten people who had it. Some before anything was available. Some who would never take it

Don’t know what county you are in. Cherokee was hard hit. Pretty healthy bunch of folks up this way

Sure. Squirt the poison directly to the brain via the nose. The other “vaxes” via syringe only had a small chance of breaking through the blood brain barrier. This will be much more effective.

Sorry, not buying it. I know several nurses and a doc at Northside Cherokee.

And did they or do they work in ICU?

The rest of the hospital was rather slow

CCU and ICU were not

Docs are rarely at the hospital unless they are ER docs and they wouldn’t know

The nurses it would depend on what units they were on
