No thank you I don't trust the FDA

[ThatMexicanGuyLouis]

After people being vac injured you can count me out

[tomellibee]

As someone with a crippling phobia of needles, this will be a game changer for me.

[CornPopsDood]

The only thing new here is “at home”. There’s been a nasal spray vaccine for years.

[LincolnBowling-vfcf]

We don't trust anything this guy reports

[Check.Your.Sources]

That’s pretty bonkers. Imagine all the ppl this could help if this works. Its pretty shocking to think a nasal spray could have the same longevity/effectiveness as a flu shot.

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. Students begin at the starting line. Once the test begins, the running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear the signal (beep).

[WeGoneReachABillist]

With David Muir’s credibility, I’m sure this is all good information that I can trust… lmao

[maxstrongCW]

Fantastic!
Preventative meds for sane people 🎉🎉

If it works, this is really great news. Convenience and no more needles are awesome. It's probably expensive, though.

Why would i do it at home by myself its easy enough to get it elsewhere. The market for this will be slim to say the least.
