plants make vaccines

Does this make biohackers (and everyone's) life easier? I guess regulations are less strict for plants, no?

[Skyler Gordon]

It makes the vaccine not only easier to administer (if they can be developed to be edible and work it's way into the blood stream via the gut), but also more stable and easier to produce. Shipping/ purification of the vaccine becomes easier, as well as reducing the negative side effects of introducing the vaccine into the body.

Otherwise, the regulations concerning developing vaccines should remain the same. Introduction of antigens to the body should be hazardous no matter what.

The experimental ebola vaccine was made using transient expression in tobacco back during the west african outbreak.

Smoking vaccines sounds impractical but terribly funny to imagine although.

Smokable vaccines? Now that's what I call some stable antigens.

I'd like a large diet Coke and a pack of Ebola lights, please.
