Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice.
One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity.

Former DFAT boss wants Australia out of AUKUS.
The Aus Govt could save us embarrassment by conducting its own review into AUKUS, rather than waiting for the US to make the deal untenable.
Our research found 66% of Australians want a Parliamentary Inquiry into AUKUS.

We need as many fed MPs as poss asking Health Minister to personally negotiate procurement/distribution of Novavax & ensure Australians have equitable access
It’s his responsibility & can’t be shirked by blaming Biocelect, TGA or ATAGI

It’s time to ask our newly elected federal representatives to advocate loudly for equitable access to the promised full portfolio of C19 injection options, especially Novavax for the thousands of Australians for whom mRNA is contraindicated.
