Without a nasal vaccine, the U.S. edge in fighting Covid is on the line

Biden administration officials are raising concerns that the slow pace of developing a nasal vaccine for Covid-19 in the U.S. could pose a security risk as China, Iran and Russia approve their own vaccines taken through the nose or mouth.

Officials at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are attuned to the danger of failing to develop such a nasal vaccine since it would protect people in case of a more contagious and deadlier coronavirus variant, said Karin Bok, the acting deputy director for pandemic preparedness and emergency response at the agency’s Vaccine Research Center.

“Countries where transmission is reduced are going to be healthier, are going to have stronger economies. And the U.S. needs to catch up,” said Marty Moore, the founder and chief scientific officer of Meissa Vaccines, a small biotech company that’s trying to develop a nasal vaccine in the U.S.

Their vaccine, named iNCOVACC in India, is based on an adenovirus that delivers the coronavirus spike protein. “For example, we are looking into whether nasal vaccines could be an option for our all-in-one coronavirus vaccine program funding the development of vaccines against both Covid-19 variants and other coronaviruses,” said Melanie Saville, CEPI’s executive director of vaccine research and development.in seed funding to the Dutch company Intravacc for a nasal vaccine candidate that could work against multiple coronaviruses.

What do you mean 'will'? It already has.

Covid is over. Most of us have had it. Shut up already.

I fixed the headline for you: “There is no plan B: If I don’t get Congress to fund this, I will not get the awesome board position at the pharmaceutical company I was promised. The execs won’t get their larger yachts.” – Ashish Jha, White House Covid-19 response coordinator

BS

Oh ffs

You can’t be serious with this shit. Still? Just stop dudes. You lost.

running for a vaccine that has already been exposed that doesn't work, doesn't immunize, doesn't prevent contagion but is mandatory. who benefits from this? only the pharma cartel and their political partners

What I hear you saying is November 9 if Democrats control the power in Washington the mask mandates and vaccine mandates are coming back!!

Not in Anything, does this administration have a plan B. And though Bipartisanship is the future, the Democrats aren't a group that understands equal opportunity.

Garbage nanotechnological bio organism. It's a bioweapon designed to enslave and kill us.

That bridge has been burned.

Please...but yes for such a mutating virus people are not going to be motivated to get any more vaccine (i use thay word losely) shots so a nadal spray might be a better option...

Really, encouraging China's response to COVID?

I am sure we will be fine

“None have been proven to stop Covid transmission”, nasal vaccines don’t work, that exact reason nasal flu vaccines were taken off the market.

You mean China who’s still on lockdown lol

You bunch of clowns
