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.’

We have been using this home-made spray since first hearing about it in 2020.
Some mention of Cherokee County, GA in other responses. We live in the neighboring county that was a mini epi-center of concern for the WuFlu in early 2020.
We have been living our lives maskless since April 2020, meeting regularly with friends, neighbors, complete strangers in Fellowship and community gatherings/activities since then.
Neither of us have had any variation of the WuFlu. We are unvaxxed/unboosted and not living in fear.
The people I know would (and did) know.
I do that before I leave the house and on return. Also gargle with a plaque remover rinse - wash hands with Dawn...take vitamins and that’s it. Trust God for the rest.
Agreed. COVID can and is still very dangerous. Even mild forms of COVID can damage the heart and lungs and we are seeing this in more younger people now whose repeat infections become more serious than previous infections.
Many of the young sudden cardiac deaths we are seeing have a common denominator, the victims previously had COVID. We tend to blame the vaccines (and they might be partially to blame) but the effect of COVID induced heart damage in younger people has been identified for a long time.
If you are a female with Factor 5 Leiden clotting disorder (which is more common than many people realize) your chances of developing life threatening blood clots in the 30 days after a COVID infection nearly double (COVID itself can cause massive blood clotting in the body and this is a known cause of death from the infection, particularly in younger people).
COVID also causes a phenomenon known as Multiple Organ Failure in small children. This failure appears within 30-60 days after infection and is fatal in about 10% of children who develop it. It is unique to COVID and does not appear with any other known virus.
COVID is not a cold nor is it a flu. It is a dangerous engineered virus that should be treated with reason and care. Those who make it out to be nothing are basically just China apologists.
From the same people who said (originally) that the clot shot was 97% effective, remember that? How about 2 weeks to flatten the curve? No mask, mask, 2 masks, etc?
Do you trust them? If so, i have a bridge in brooklyn.
What did the demented lead character in “What About Bob” say? Something like...”Gimme, Gimme, Gimme. I need, I need, I need”.
Agreed
Your vax I do not trust
I'm filled with disgust
Not on a train
It would eat my brain
Not on a boat
Not with a goat
They can kiss my axe
I don't like their vax.
There is no known correlation between COVID blood clots and intubation. The blood clots were identified long ago in patients who had undergone many different treatments. The COVID blood clots (which can appear anywhere in the body but most often the lungs) manifest themselves up to 30 days after infection and are directly tied to the virus not any treatment. Now intubation can cause blood clots but not the same density or severity as those caused by the virus itself.
Early on the government was over counting COVID deaths. We may be undercounting them now since it is unlikely that people who recently recovered from COVID but soon after are dying from clot induced maladies are being considered COVID deaths even though COVID probably caused their blood clots.
Agree that avoiding intubation was a good call though.
Yes, but it’s twice as good. And twice as expensive.
No thanks, I already have natural resistance to the CCP virus.
Absolutely! You might end up with “Michael Jackson Nose”.
I have issues with nasal infection. Is long term thing. As a child I had my tonsils and adenoids removed. It helped with reducing recurring infections, but long term it has some consequences.
I have my own home brew nose wash that is a very diluted mixture of distilled water, hydrogen peroxide and Clonidine solution. I use it infrequently, but it is very effective in ending infection and I don’t notice any side effects.
The Clonidine is advocated by Dr. McCollough for preventing Covid or other viral infection.
I know this. I had a positive covid test at a clinic where I was diagnosed with a lung infection. I did a home covid test when I first got sick 2 months prior then the same day as the positive test from the clinic where they used a pcr test which we all know is BS. Both times my home test was negative.
The scamdemic continues. People get sick, this is for sure true, but blaming it all on covid is a mistake IMHO. It could be a number of things or even a combination of a number of things then if you throw in some health conditions that were already there that weakens the immune system it complicates things even more.
But I don’t know Jack. By the way, I remember that game from the 90’s when the Internet was still kinda new to the general public. I see it’s still around. https://www.jackboxgames.com/ydkj-full-stream/
My father died last Saturday. Kidney failure, and had a heart attack in the hospital. They also added he had some Covid in his lungs (so they could collect that government money). So that scam is still going on. Nobody said Covid while he was in the hospital. Nobody wore masks around him. I even talked to his doctor the day before he died. nada. Follow the money.
It may cure Covid but will give you the desire to eat brains and walk funny. Blue states Zombies will starve to death.
