Joe Biden will ask Congress for money to develop new vaccines. Biden signed a proposal for additional funding from Congress for the development of a new COVID-19 vaccine “that works.” The government may recommend it for everyone, Biden added. At the same time, Yale is developing mRNA vaccines delivered by air.
“We just gave two doses, a prime and a boost, intranasally, and we got a highly protective immune response. But we also showed that, generally, you can deliver different kinds of mRNA. So it’s not just good for a vaccine, but potentially also good for gene replacement therapy in diseases like cystic fibrosis and gene editing. We used a vaccine example to show that it works, but it opens the door to doing all these other kinds of interventions.”
