Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of “universal” vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or bacterium, the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months. In mice, it slashed viral levels, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions.
Conspiracy theory that it turns you gay/gives you cancer/makes you a pod person coming in 3, 2, 1…
I’m withholding any opinion until I hear from the head of the FDA who has surely been using the US government’s teams of hundreds of scientists to get the best Gold standard science on this technology
What is RFK Jr stance on it? 🤣

If they can somehow create a powdered version it may finally get him on board
It only just struck me. The federal government is currently headed by several “where is Ja Rule” level incompetents. Enough of the funny, I really, really want to go back to the boring government.
But what does Ja think? Where’s Ja…?!
Funny joke from a petty bully. Chappelle loves to punch down too much for me to respect him more than anyone in the Trump admin.
Got any examples? Honestly curious.
If you think Chappelle is worse or equivalent to the trump admin, that’s gonna be a tough sell…
Been living under a rock?

There are tons of articles out there about his jokes punching down at various groups, because it’s an ongoing problem and he just doubles down if anyone complains.
“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it’s not satire, it’s bullying.” - Sir Terry Prachett
And I never said he was as bad as anyone in the Trump admin, I just said I couldn’t respect him any more than them. He sits in a place of immense privilege and punches down at people who are struggling. He’s in the same company as them.
You have to ask?
The only thing the FDA needs to hear is that this will make a lot of money for the shareholders.
Oddly enough, I have a strong feeling this will get marginally more support and a warmer reception than injectable vaccines.
Source: I’ve argued with dozens of people about vaccines in real life, and 90% of them were JUST scared of needles and injections and just built giant palaces of rationalization that consumed their whole lives to validate that fear. You know who doesn’t give a shit about vaccines even if they’re conservative? Diabetics who have to inject insulin every day.
I am afraid of needles too but that didn’t stop me from getting the vaccine because I’m more afraid of fucking dying.
It drove me nuts in the early days of the COVID vaccine and some study came out showing that a lot of the people against the vaccine were really just afraid of needles, but had a good chance to get their courage up if the news media would just stop plastering pictures of needles in every story about the vaccine. So, what did the news media do? They just kept right on throwing pictures of needles on every story.
This is an interesting notion I hadn’t considered at all, you may be on to something there.

Wait, really? I need something to fortify my homosexuality. Wanna make sure I’m not catching feelings for men.
Aw yiss, Gay x2 here we goooo!
But what about the microchips?
Pretty close https://lemmy.world/comment/22305562
And that would be bad why?
well, my girlfriend would be a bit upset
…and I’d DEFINITELY need new clothes
I mean, if you don’t want to be, that’d be kind of a bummer. I wouldn’t know though…
Dunno, ask Alex Jones, he’s the one peddling it as bad even though there’s reason to think he’s a bisexual swinger.
