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

Ugh , another vaccine on the way ! I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great that scientists in Germany have made progress , but let's not forget about the elephant in the room – accessibility . The fact that nasal vaccines are still super expensive is a major concern . What about people who can't afford them? Shouldn't we be focusing on making these life-saving vaccines more affordable? I know, I know, it's not just about the cost, but come on... four late-stage testing nasal vaccines and still no clear winner? It's like we're still playing catch-up . And don't even get me started on the animal studies – hamsters aren't exactly the most reliable testers, right?

I'm so relieved to hear about this nasal vaccine ! It makes total sense that the weakened form of the virus worked better than other types of vaccines. I mean, can you imagine getting sick for like, a week straight because your body's not recognizing the actual coronavirus? That's just gross!

But seriously, boosting mucosal immunity is key to preventing the spread of Covid-19, especially with those new variants popping up left and right ! It's crazy that researchers are even thinking about this now, especially since it's been a few years since the pandemic started.

I'm definitely rooting for these scientists – they're like the MVPs of medicine ! And yeah, I get it, there's still more work to be done. But at least we have some promising leads like this nasal vaccine. Fingers crossed that it'll become available soon and help us all stay healthy !

I'm telling ya, this nasal vaccine thing is the future ! I mean, who wouldn't want to stop Covid-19 from taking hold in your nose and throat? It's like having a force field against the virus . And the fact that it was tested on hamsters first? That's just genius, right?

I remember back in my day, we had vaccines for diseases like polio and flu, but this one takes the cake . I'm all for trying new approaches, especially when it comes to keeping us safe from these pesky viruses. And with the Omicron variant being so tricky, any advantage we can get is worth exploring .

Now, I know what you're thinking - "But isn't this just a band-aid solution?" Well, let me tell you, sometimes those makeshift fixes are all we've got . And who knows, maybe one day we'll have a pan-coronavirus vaccine that's like the holy grail of immunity .

Anyway, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for these nasal vaccines. We need all the help we can get to keep our noses safe from Covid-19 !

omg u guyz i cant even this nasal vaxx sounds like game changer!!!! scientists r testing it on hamsters 1st & its got sterilizing immunity lol what does that even mean tho? but seriously, if it can prevent covid from taking hold in the nose n throat that would b a huge step forward i mean we've been dealing with covid for yrs now & we still dont have a solid vaxx so this nasal vaxx could be just what we need to stop the spread of infection but yeah, more testing is needed 4 sure... cant wait 2 c how it goes
