Scientists at Stanford Medicine have unveiled a bold new kind of “universal” vaccine that could one day protect against everything from COVID-19 and the flu to bacterial pneumonia and even common allergens. Instead of targeting a specific virus or bacterium, the nasal spray vaccine supercharges the lungs’ own immune defenses, keeping them on high alert for months. In mice, it slashed viral levels, prevented severe illness, and even blocked allergic reactions.
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?
Yes, allergies are a form of auto immune disorder.
This is PR bullshit from Stanford, in mice.
