Another focus similar to the TB shot – once again its all about our immune system. You have to work it just like a muscle – live in an ultraclean life you will never have a strong immune system to tackle the big problems – workout with the smaller weights to handle a big weight – https://news.stlpublicradio.org/health-science-environment/2020-09-19/could-a-common-vaccine-prevent-covid-19-washington-university-leads-study-to-find-out
“Doctors at Washington University are investigating whether the commonly used measles, mumps and rubella vaccine could protect people against getting sick with the coronavirus.
The large international study is based on the concept of trained immunity — the idea that live vaccines can turbocharge the immune system. “Of course it protects people from measles mumps and rubella, but activating the immune system with this type of vaccine could stimulate protection from other viruses as well,” said Dr. Mary Politi, a professor at Washington University and one of the researchers in the study. “The structural similarities might mean (that) when the body produces this response with antibodies with MMR, they could recognize the virus that causes COVID-19.”
The MMR vaccine could also trigger a more general immune response that could protect against multiple viruses, including the coronavirus, she said.”
“Unlike the common flu shot, the MMR vaccine is what is called a “live” or “attenuated” vaccine. That means it contains a weakened form of the virus it protects against.
That’s key to its potential success, said Dr. Michael Avidan, another Wash U professor and principal investigator in the study.”
““Trained immunity” only lasts for a short time, Avidan said. That’s why those who have received the MMR vaccine in the past may not be protected from COVID-19.
There’s also evidence live immunizations could protect against other viruses, Politi said. Earlier this year, close to 1,000 Marines, who receive MMR vaccinations when they join the military, were exposed to the coronavirus on a ship. Though many became sick, only one needed to be hospitalized.
It also could be why children, who may have received immunizations more recently, may not get as sick with the coronavirus as adults, Politi said.
If the study proves the MMR vaccine is effective, it could help protect people until a coronavirus vaccine or treatment is developed.
The vaccine has been proven safe, and there’s a huge supply of it worldwide, Avidan said.”
Adding to your shopping list of vitamin C, D, and Zinc, HEPA filter, thermodynamic air cleaner, mask- we now have a nose cleaner and mask with acteev. All these offer a very good risk reward – risk incorporates side effects and cost.

“Sanitizing the nose may sound strange, but it is a well-established, clinically proven hospital practice that kills germs in the nose and helps protect you and others from infection. I’ve dedicated my entire career to managing infection risks in health care settings and firmly believe that this simple, effective practice shouldn’t be restricted to hospitals. It is time sanitizing the nose becomes a part of everyone’s daily hygiene practice.
As the national infection prevention director for Kaiser Permanente, I helped implement nasal decolonization, the clinical term for sanitizing the nose, for high-risk patients based on the outcomes of peer-reviewed studies, which found this practice prevented infections and saved lives. For example, a 2020 study published in the American Journal of Infection Control reported that infection rates for total joint replacements decreased to zero when nasal decolonization was added to the existing surgical infection prevention bundle.”
“There’s a reason the nose is a primary reservoir for germs. It is a moist, hairy environment perfect for microorganism multiplication, creating a stew of potentially harmful pathogens. And they don’t stay in the nose, as we touch our noses 100 times a day on average, and then touch other surfaces and people. Sanitizing the nose interrupts the cycle of contamination between the hands and nose.”
“Before the pandemic, I commonly experienced respiratory infections after airline travel. I began to apply what I had learned in hospitals by sanitizing my nose prior to flying. That was five years ago, and I have not experienced a respiratory infection after a flight since then. While many of us are hunkered down, if you do find yourself headed to a crowded space — such as grocery stores, beaches or airports — consider sanitizing your nose beforehand. And as school campuses start opening in our state and throughout the country, sanitizing the nose should be a part of any discussion about measures to keep children, parents and teachers safe.”
“It is important to sanitize the nose the right way because not all nasal hygiene products kill germs. Neti pots and saline sprays can help decongest the nose — they do not kill germs. Organizations and individuals should only use products to sanitize the nose that are clinically proven to be safe and effective.
