I just got a flu shot!

This is the only approach that makes any sense. Intramuscular vaccines have never been able to induce mucosal immunity, which is kind of important when dealing with viral agents that enter through the nasal passages and cause respiratory illnesses.
Just keep getting boosted, I guess. 🤷♂️
I'm almost positive I had covid twice.
The first time was in January of 2020. I had a strange cough then tested positive for antibodies.
Another was in 2023. My Dad had covid and I caught it from him at Easter. It was pretty scary. I felt weak for about 4 days.
I had 3 vaccines at that point. If I didn't get vaxxed, I could have caught the dead.
How many covid vaccines have you received?
I believe one of the side effects is obsessively, compulsively posting about covid vaccines...so I'm pretty sure you do have significant side effects.
RIP. I received the flu shot 3 weeks back and died last Wednesday.
This makes a lot of sense to use before flying on an airplane or otherwise going where there will be crowds. Protection lasts for eight hours so it could even keep you safe from coworkers on a daily basis.
And the bottle is small enough to get through TSA.

Conflict of Interest
J.J., H.M.B, Y.T., and J.M.K have one pending patent based on the PCANS formulation described in this manuscript. N.J. and J.M.K are paid consultants, scientific advisory board members, and hold equity in Akita Biosciences, a company that has licensed IP generated by N.J. and J.MK. that may benefit financially if the IP was further validated. The interests of N.J. and J.MK. were reviewed and overseen by their institution in accordance with its conflict of interest policies.In other words, they have no randomized data supporting their "product" and have submitted nothing to FDA to obtain formal approval to substantiate the claims
No different than the "Airborne" crap. Save your money and get a flu & Covid vaccine, covered 100% by insurance.
In a paper just published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Advanced Materials, the researchers say the spray “coats the nasal cavity, capturing large respiratory droplets from the air, and serving as a physical barrier against a broad spectrum of viruses and bacteria, while rapidly neutralizing them with over 99.99% effectiveness.” In other words, it catches the viruses and bacteria at the typical point of entry into our bodies — the nose — and stops them there.
There are plenty of caveats. These results came from a study involving mice, not people. The study was conducted in a laboratory, not the outside world. The spray has not gone through the cumbersome process of getting regulated as a medical treatment by the Food and Drug Administration and is instead being sold as a personal-care product. Researchers used a 3D-printed replica of a human nose to test the nasal spray’s efficacy.
Nonetheless, the news is promising: The product is cheap, its ingredients are harmless and it might reduce our risk of getting colds or flu during winter flu season.
“In … research in our labs, the nasal spray reduced the load of viruses and bacteria — including Influenza A and B, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, adenovirus and a bacterial form of pneumonia — by over 99.99% and persisted in the nose for eight hours,” Harvard’s Jeffrey Karp tells MarketWatch.
It is the first such spray to come close to this type of protection, the researchers say. Previous sprays have provided between 20% and 70% protection.
In a laboratory experiment where mice were exposed to a severe flu virus, they report, all of the mice who were given the new spray survived. Among mice who were not given the spray, none survived.
The scientists call their new spray the Pathogen Capture and Neutralizing Spray, or PCANS, though they are marketing it under the more euphonious name Profi.
The ingredients are pectin, gellan, polysorbate 80, benzalkonium chloride, and phenethyl alcohol, Harvard assistant professor Nitin Joshi tells MarketWatch. All were drawn from the FDA’s inactive-ingredients database and “generally recognized as safe” list.
“We performed rigorous screening of ingredients that have been used in approved nasal formulations or have been widely recognized for their safety, and identified combinations and concentrations that maximize effectiveness and safety,” Joshi says.
Due to the cumbersome federal regulatory structure, the researchers decided not to seek FDA approval, which can take years, to market the spray as a medical product. Instead they are selling it as a personal-care product. “Because of the nature of the ingredients … we do not need clinical trials (and we don’t make any medical claims — as this is regulated as a personal care product/cosmetic),” they say.
In other words, due to regulations, even though research published in a peer-reviewed journal points toward 99.99% effectiveness, they can’t make these claims in their marketing materials.
They can "say" whatever they want, except make actual claims of efficacy w/o actual evidence for them.
What they have NOT done is perform and complete actual clinical trials demonstrating efficacy in a human population.
Something vaccine manufacturers are required to do and complete before they release anything to the public.
The regulations are not "cumbersome"; they are federal law.
These guys could conduct an actual trial to demonstrate their product formally worked, and make loads more money if it did.
Covid vaccinations have failed to produce effective mucosal neutralizing antibody responses.
They’re useless.
They’re useless.
