The interesting part to me is that its nasally administered. Weren't we just reading in another article about Alzheimer's patients having some vulnerability in the upper nose. As well as also usually having some infection like herpes, where here a vaccine seems to provoke a good response to a condition like infection?

At least half of Americans have some form of herpes infection.

10% of those over 65 have Alzheimer's in the US, and growing. It's not unreasonable to investigate a link, and indeed researchers (finally, depending on your bias) are.

Worldwide, around 90% of people have one or both of HSV-1 and HSV-2 [1]. Crazy.
