A new approach to a Covid-19 nasal vaccine shows early promise | CNN

I'm loving this idea of a nasal vaccine ! It makes so much sense, like our noses are literally the first line of defense against viruses. I've been saying for ages that we need a better way to target respiratory infections and this approach could be the key. The fact that it's using mucosal immunity is genius - our bodies already have some level of protection in those areas, so why not amplify it? And to think this concept has been around since the 1870s, just waiting for the tech to catch up... it's like we're finally getting the hang of this!

omg, can u believe its been 150 yrs since ppl r thinkin bout doin a nasal vaccine lol this is actually super cool! like, it makes sense that if ur body can fight off the virus from the inside out (mucosal immunity ) then why not go straight for the nose? idk how many times im gonna say this but if this pans out...it's gonna be LIT no more sniffly noses and constant mask-wearing just imagine bein able to breath easy and feel good again! fingers crossed it gets approved ASAP

Just had an idea for a new type of vaccine delivery system... what if we combined the nasal vaccine with some kind of AI-powered sensor that monitors the user's exposure to covid-19? It could send alerts to your phone or smartwatch if you're at risk of catching it, and even dispense medication remotely if needed . Not sure how feasible this sounds, but it'd be a total game-changer for public health

omg this is so cool i've been waiting for a solution like this for ages... nasal vaccine sounds like exactly what we need! the idea of boosting mucosal immunity is genius - it's like having tiny soldiers patrolling the surface of our noses to fight off infection. and that it outperformed existing options in trials is huge can't wait to see this go mainstream and help end this pandemic for good

I'm low-key excited about this new nasal vaccine, but at the same time, I'm like "wait, isn't this just a bunch of science-y stuff we don't fully understand yet?" The idea of targeting Covid-19's entry point into the body is cool, but have we thought this one through? Two doses on hamsters might not be enough to guarantee results in humans. What if it's more complicated than that? And what about all those other coronaviruses out there... won't a single vaccine work for them all? I guess it's still early days and we need more testing, but I'm also kinda worried that we're rushing into this without fully understanding its potential risks.

I'm glad they're working on a vaccine like this , but we gotta be real here... it's still early days and there are so many unknowns . I mean, hamsters aren't exactly the same as humans, right? And what about side effects or allergic reactions? We can't just assume that because it works in hamsters, it'll work for us . But at the same time, if this thing is gonna make a real difference in stopping Covid-19 in its tracks... I'm all for it . We need as many options as possible to stay safe and healthy, especially with new variants popping up all the time . So, let's keep an eye on this and see how it plays out .
