Wondering what Hexbear’s thoughts on this are. Seems they’ll be out next year too.

I feel like they’re overhyped. Iirc both China an India have nasal vaccines, and they have yet to achieve sterilizing immunity. What do you think? Also, do you think next year is too soon a deadline for these vaccines?

    Nasal vaccines will probably carry the same benefit as nasal sprays like covixyl: Keeps COVID from getting into your brain from your nose, which is what causes long COVID.

    So even if nasal vaccines end up being less efficacious overall than mRNA vaccines in terms of avoiding long-term cardiovascular problems from COVID, if it reduces the risk of long COVID more than mRNA vaccines, I would opt for a nasal vaccine no question.
