Nasal vaccine trials are underway. We should have preliminary results in a few months.

IIRC there is an intranasal expected to be approved mid next year. I can't find the source I read that in, so take the timing with a grain of salt. Another source I can't find at the moment mentioned questions about the duration of protection from that method of vaccination as well.

I would guess the push for intramuscular was driven for multiple reasons, the first being ease of development and the second to keep hospitalizations and death at a minimum.

I don't think anyone's concerned about IM vs. IN as they are mRNA vs. DNA. The boosters deliver double stranded helix straight to the nucleus like a Windows update. You'd have to pull an Apocalypse Now to roll that back. GM people nobody panics but GM organic food and everyone loses their minds.

I thought the boosters just have mRNA strands like the original mRNA vaccines do? I haven’t heard anything about them using CRISPR or otherwise editing the human genome. Would be neat but it seems like pharma companies charge a million dollars for that kind of treatment.

That's the current Johnson + Johnson vaccine. What does that have to do with "boosters" and what about that requires an "Apocalypse Now"?

You don’t know how vaccines or viruses work, do you?

I know how code works and that DNA is code.

Every viral vaccine works this way, though. Because every virus works this way.

Don't most viruses just deliver mRNA that tells the cell to make more viruseses? I thought only a few, like herpes, deliver dna. That's why it can't be cured. DNA vaccines used to be commonly used on dogs and livestock to prevent things like rabies iiuc. It wasn't until these jensson booster shots that I've seen them being given to people on a large scale. Also there's a big difference when the mRNA and DNA code is emerging organically and when it's being engineering in labs.

DNA viruses include chickenpox, whose massively successful vaccine is an attenuated virus which of course delivers “double strand helix right to your nucleus.”

(And of course smallpox was a DNA virus as well.)

Your appeal to nature fallacy is not worthy of a response.

So you're saying the booster shots that deliver engineered dna via viral vectors are ok because herpes and smallpox do it too?
