"I think what we have is a universal vaccine against diverse respiratory threats," Pulendran said.

Yes, please. We've been absolutely rocked by the recent plague circulating around schools

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

The only thing the FDA needs to hear is that this will make a lot of money for the shareholders.

What is RFK Jr stance on it? 🤣

How can a nasal spray protect against bullets?

Cool, where do I sign up?

Intentionally spread a new variant of a virus to create demand for a new vaccine because nobody cares about COVID anymore? I’d believe it.

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.

Wait, really? I need something to fortify my homosexuality. Wanna make sure I’m not catching feelings for men.

But what does Ja think? Where's Ja...?!

the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months

I can see this working against bacteria and viruses but how does it block allergens? Isn't an overly strong immune reaction how they start to begin with?

Maybe the spray has PCP in it so you just don't care about being shot.

At your local Kid Rock concert

Needles put a lot off people off and it‘s especially confronting to parents with babies and toddlers. Very hopeful.

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.

Yes, allergies are a form of auto immune disorder.

This! Went from so hopeful to devastated so fast — covid gave me autoimmune nightmare syndromes, and immunosuppressants are one of very few things to have actually helped me gain a tiny bit of my life back. Boosting immune system? Nooo thank you.

If it stops transmission, then that’s still good for those of us who can’t get it, but plenty of vaccines don’t unfortunately. They’re still very worth getting and keeping up to date with boosters if you can

it turns you gay

And that would be bad why?

You are assuming they are American.

You have to ask?

“It’s good if it goes up the nose.”

Tell Kennedy it has cocaine and it'll get approved

But what about the microchips?

Americans aren't too picky about who they shoot

Evolution will happen whether we want it or not and new strains will appear from time to time, just like we've seen with every virus ever known.

But if you still think that's what happened, we'd love to see your evidence of this new strain being man-made.

We now go live to RFK Jr. for his reaction:

Well that about does it for the USA. At least we gave the rest of the world a good, hearty laugh as we all perished from preventable illnesses.

Dunno, ask Alex Jones, he's the one peddling it as bad even though there's reason to think he's a bisexual swinger.

I've probably heard this one before

Be 999,99! Very expensive.

Don’t forget, 6G.

Mention added immunity from toilet seats for bonus points.

Compatible with any disgusting toilet seat that you may want to ingest anything off of, it's really great. Top big time #1 Mr. President! sir! I am crying! I want to kiss you! Many people are saying!

If they can somehow create a powdered version it may finally get him on board

Yes please.

This is PR bullshit from Stanford, in mice.

Huh, I got arrested for breaking into an abandoned building...

A composition of cocaine, roadkill, raw milk and sewage water and he's sold.

Got any examples? Honestly curious.

If you think Chappelle is worse or equivalent to the trump admin, that's gonna be a tough sell...

I get the joke but for the sake of strict accuracy I'm so white I'm borderline translucent. I just meant that every mall around me is dead and abandoned.

Aw yiss, Gay x2 here we goooo!

I mean, if you don't want to be, that'd be kind of a bummer. I wouldn't know though...

well, my girlfriend would be a bit upset

...and I'd DEFINITELY need new clothes

Stanford has a constant habit of lying in press releases. Don’t bother reading what they publish until someone else reproduces their work.

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.
