I want to know what these scientists are thinking slapping a live highly mutative virus right up it's happy spot? Like why the nose and not a shot? Aren't they afraid it might evolve or the actual virus adapt out of someone who has the snot vac in them?
We tried the snot vaccine in the Navy and all it did was make a nasty mess when you admister it and get a bunch of people sick. They stopped after two years.
They aren't using live sars-cov2 virus. They want to use the nose so that people will gain immunity to infection. Also, people hate needles. Muscle injections generate a different type of immunity which is robust against system-wide infection (hospitalization) but not against the initial infection which begins in the respiratory system. FluMist, which is also delivered as a nasal mist, is reasonably effective and has been available for years.
