Personally, I'll stick to my FDA approved one, but I might be biased being already vaccinated. I can fully understand the desperation of people wanting to get it, but I also enjoy the extensive testing that goes into this stuff as well. RaDVaC will likely never have extensive testing and risks will likely never be published or known. Interesting concept for sure though.
Here's a guy who claimed to do it, said it only cost about $1000
Devac, Cedar, and wasoxygen here's the first update from the guy who did it that I posted about above. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Mqy4GFqJoMSfs8raA/radvac-commercial-antibody-test-results
With the suggestion that this was enough to create 500 doses, though the paper recommends multiple boosters: "The vaccine should be used at least 3 times (as shown by animal studies and human clinical trial data): a priming dose, and administration of 2+ booster doses."it only cost about $1000
I'm really hoping they guy who did it does get antibody testing and reports his findings over the course of multiple doses, and gets testing to get antibody counts and not just presence/absence. I'm very interested as to how it stacks up. I just personally would never do it.
From what I read it is unclear whether a vaccine administered nasally would produce the blood antibodies detected by tests. From the paper:One challenge for intranasal vaccines is verifying efficacy. Many published reports show that nasally delivered vaccines have high efficacy for prevention of infection, typically equivalent or superior to injected vaccines for this most important measure. However, efficacy is not as easily measured or predicted by traditional measures, such as anti-virus or anti-epitope antibody titer (e.g. as measured by ELISA) in serum. This is in part because blood is more quantifiable than mucosal secretions, and in part because the primary means of conferring immunity is through mucosal stimulation and response.
Mixing a miniscule amount in with vinegar and water sounds too homeopathic for my liking; in theory I am for open-sourcing hard science but... This whole thing reeks of an appeal-to-authority, and I'm not sure sticking a big disclaimer before the whitepaper does anything to assuage that. Edit: Shared but only because I think this is an interesting idea for discussion, absolutely cannot recommend it or speak to the science it purports!
