Thank you so much for this easy to understand piece on vaccines. It is certainly a worrying time particularly with the new administration in the USA and also here with the spread of antivax views. This is something I just can’t understand! I am in my late seventies and I remember my grandmother talking to me about the loss of children. She was born in 1881 and had 7 surviving children. She never talked too much about her loss but since looking at Ancestry Uk I know she lost some children who were registered as did her mother who was born in 1863. Not many vaccines were initially available when I was a child but I know my parents were desperate to take advantage of vaccines and always encouraged me with respect to my children. Your explanation with respect to vaccines and particularly the mRNA has been hugely helpful and while I’m definitely a non scientist I feel confident to talk to family members if I have to. I am concerned for the continued development of vaccines, which are a game changer all round, if these leaders stop the R and D required the future of everyone and in particular children is of real concern. More funding and support for scientists are definitely needed. Thank you again for your hard work. Just a question, do you have any further updates on the nasal vaccines you have talked about?
