GOOD NEWS! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine known as GLA-3M-052-LS+OVA, that protects against a wide range of respiratory viruses, bacteria AND even allergens. The vaccine is delivered intranasally AND provides broad protection in the lungs for several MONTHS.

Another reminder:
Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs.
Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections.
Respirators work better than masks.
Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

Hard to say how this isn't willful murder at a population scale. Seniors with chronic respiratory conditions getting denied covid vaccines.
Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”
But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.

![In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines.
"Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie."
In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022.
"I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6wwty6iar2ya7heph6d25cw3/bafkreicubujwawlbrb2fadzes7dsqupwbvejopcwwfyut7qji6aogbs2je)

People know at this point that covid isn't really a respiratory infection right? It's an infection that happens to spread via respiratory systems but that causes system wide inflammation. The flu is a respiratory infection. It sticks to your lungs for the most part. Covid doesn't.
