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.

Back during the Covid mess, I saw people recommending a nasal spray called Xlear as a way to clear the covid virus from the nasal passages. The active ingredient is xylitol, a sugar alcohol. I tried it, and never got covid, but I don’t know if it worked or not. I never got the clot shot either.
Green pea sprouts seem like something I could manage!
Thanks for posting the info...

Use 3% hydrogen peroxide as your primary mouthwash AND follow that with a nasal swab soaked in hydrogen peroxide.

These are two great prophylactic measures. As we enter the ‘flu season,’ home remedies can provide considerable protection if we will only use them on a regular basis. We have all been counseled but it bears repeating that respiratory infections gain entry through eyes, nose, and mouth. Developing habits to keep contaminated fingers away from these entry points and away from the food and water we consume is essential. That’s why decontaminating hands and fingers regularly through thorough washing with soap is essential.
