SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE VACCINE FRIEND.....

By Kim Stagliano

This REPORT from SUNY Buffalo reports that scientists are working on vaccination via the mucus membranes, in this case, the nose. This application makes sense in outlying areas of the globe, given lack of sanitation, refrigeration and potable water. But having watched enough of Scarface to know that sniffing/snorting/spraying stuff into your nose can affect your brain I have to wonder about the ramifications of snortable vaccines. I'm sure FDA will make sure they are perfectly safe though.

"If I want to immunize somebody in Uganda with a vaccine that must be injected, for instance, I have to bring needles, everything must be sterile and everything must be kept cold, which means we need refrigeration.

"But if I can vaccinate through the nose, all I have to do is dry the antigen and my adjuvant. When I get to the middle of Uganda, I boil some water, pour in the antigen and adjuvant, stir it up, put it in an atomizer and 'sniff.' The mixture doesn't even have to be sterile, because the nose isn't sterile."

When they figure out how to put Gardasil onto tampons, I'm leaving the country.

Feb. 17, 2008 at 2:21 PM The last part is funny...Gardasil on tampons!  And we already have inhalable vaccines...there's one of the flu vaxxes that's a "mist"...loaded with thimerosal though.  And for those disbelievers that there's still mercury in vaccines, go to the CDC's website and look it up.  Its there, just in trace amounts so they don't have to tell you about it.
