This sure sounds like an amazing breakthrough, RNA based vaccine that works on "all strains" of a virus and can be administered with a nasal spray...

Would be pretty amazing to not have to go get a shot annually, just a quick nose spray once and be done.

    Most promises in medical news, much like energy news, never pan out.

    In medicine, finding out what doesn't work is nearly as valuable as finding what does. Because finding out why it doesn't work can lead to you the solution and perhaps even solutions for things you weren't even looking for.

    Sometimes, sure. Most of the time, though, it's more akin to: "Worked on isolated cells in vitro, but doesn't approach target cells in vivo due to ECM."

    You realize that they don’t believe that and are talking about anti vaxxers? People are being very obtuse and uncharitable.

    Without sarcasm marks or intonation it’s hard to tell the difference between someone pretending to be an idiot and the real deal.
