RE:RE:RE:Noteable ---is this more harry houdini stuff?Harry, .... MTNB's technology may be a potential solution for an oral remdesivir, which is an antiviral once infected. This technology will not replace vaccine injections since vaccines work by mounting the needed immune response to develop antibodies to a specific antigen which then prevents a viral infection from taking hold in the first place. As such, I am not aware of any vaccine that can be delivered by absorbtion in the gut. Vaccines do not function in the same way as antibiotics which are usually delivered orally, but can also be delivered intravenusly particulaly when the pathogenic infection is serious, systemic and needs to be rapidly eliminated by the agent, Intravenous antibiotic, for example, are given to patients whose infections are resistant to oral antibiotics or for infections that require high doses of antibiotics that cannot be taken orally.
So there is no way that this nano-encapsulation technology will replace vaccinations by injection, at least not in the near term.
