Yes, this virus is brutal and highly dangerous, which is why we need to do everything we can to stop it, not just somethings that are highly lucrative.

Why hasn’t the news or our medical governance brought up the fact that a small intranasal injection can greatly prevent transmission?

We're having trouble since the beginning of the pandemic getting people to wear a simple cloth mask. You want them to inject stuff up their nose on a regular basis now?

When you say "why isn't x happening" I'd like to invite you to think about what x would look like, in practice, and what it is you actually are expecting.

This has nothing to do with how lucrative it is. Just how practical. Note the author doesn't even say this measure can replace PPE and other preventative measures.. just add to them.

The masking is an odd one because they told us not to do it, then to do it.

I’ve also read claims that these respiratory viruses are on the order of microns and most masks are pointless, unless specifically designed for this.
