Thats treatment, not a protection.. also, inhalers dont protect against viruses, vaccines do though. Oh, jeez, a while back, I blocked Arielle Popstar for trolling, so I could not read this misguided, suggestive and potentially dangerous statement from her herself. In most cases, inhalers contain bronchodilator substances to increase airflow, as the name suggests, by dilating the bronchi. This also increases the accessibility for viruses into the lungs. So, no, inhalers with bronchodilators like beta-2-adrenergic (ant)agonists, for chronic respiratory disease typically decrease the protective effect. Steroids may have a protective effect, as Rowan suggested. Dexamethazone is one of the most important lifesavers for hospitalized COVID-19 patients. But again: bronchodilators! Also, keep in mind that people with respiratory diseases, who typically use inhalers, are simply many many times more at risk than healthy people. So, in effect, they are simply less protected. The most effective thing that works, other than complete and permanent social isolation or permanently wearing PPE, is that you and the people around you get vaccinated and get along with your lives. Your choice. Edited June 21, 2021 by Arduenn Schwartzman Beta-2-adrenergic (receptor) agonists, not beta-2-adrenalin agonists - my bad 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the vaccines themselves are prophylactic in nature and are to protect against the virus, then is there really any difference other than in this case the inhaler also treats those who already have the virus which the vaccine doesn't? Here's the opening paragraph of the report you cited:LA JOLLA—Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s distinctive “spike” proteins help the virus infect its host by latching on to healthy cells. Now, a major new study shows that the virus spike proteins (which behave very differently than those safely encoded by vaccines) also play a key role in the disease itself. Here's the closing paragraph from the actual study:Although the use of a noninfectious pseudovirus is a limitation to this study, our data reveals that S protein alone can damage endothelium, manifested by impaired mitochondrial function and eNOS activity but increased glycolysis. It appears that S protein in ECs increases redox stress which may lead to AMPK deactivation, MDM2 upregulation, and ultimately ACE2 destabilization.4 Although these findings need to be confirmed with the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the future study, it seems paradoxical that ACE2 reduction by S protein would decrease the virus infectivity, thereby protecting endothelium. However, a dysregulated renin-angiotensin system due to ACE2 reduction may exacerbate endothelial dysfunction, leading to endotheliitis. Collectively, our results suggest that the S protein-exerted EC damage overrides the decreased virus infectivity. This conclusion suggests that vaccination-generated antibody and/or exogenous antibody against S protein not only protects the host from SARS-CoV-2 infectivity but also inhibits S protein-imposed endothelial injury. Once again, you have cited a report that contradicts the claim you're making.

Since steroids are a form of immune suppressant it would absolutely make anyone taking them more susceptible. Steroids suppress both immune response and inflammation, creating a double edged sword that requires careful attention to wield properly. For respiratory illnesses, where lung tissue damage is caused by inflammation, it may better to suppress the symptom than the pathogen causing it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also pretty much why more of us didn't get CoVid before we had vaccines available. Wearing a mask and staying away from people make a big difference when there are deadly viruses in the air. Now that vaccines are available and people are starting to let their guard down, your chances of catching CoVid go way up if you don't bother to be innoculated -- especially if you hang around with other people who also haven't been innoculated. A little common sense goes a long way. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the tiny amounts present in flu vaccines are harmlessTrusted Source.

Quote Any amount of alcohol consumption harmful to the brain, finds study guardian.co.uk, Natalie Grover, May 18 2021 “There’s no threshold drinking for harm – any alcohol is worse. Pretty much the whole brain seems to be affected – not just specific areas, as previously thought,” said the lead author, Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical lecturer at the University of Oxford. Using the UK Biobank, a substantial database designed to help researchers decode the genetic and environmental factors that lead some people to develop diseases while others do not, researchers in this study analysed data from 25,378 participants such as age, sex, education, self-reported alcohol consumption, brain size and health from MRI scans, information about hospital and outpatient visits, and memory tests. Higher volume of alcohol consumption per week was associated with lower grey matter density – the researchers found, with alcohol explaining up to a 0.8% change in grey matter volume, even after accounting for individual biological and behavioural characteristics. This might seem like a small figure, but it is a larger contribution than any other modifiable risk factors.

Arielle, I thought that post about the spike proteins was way out of line here. As far as @examining you should ask your doctor not a message board, not any message board period as a doctor may need to know the status of a person's condition before recommending a vaccine. I know one person who has had medication increases vastly over the last eight months. Her doctor has her on a do not vaccinate at this time due to the vastly increasing medication she is taking right now. The women uses PPE throughout her entire day. However, even this one person I am speaking about should not determine whether you should be vaccinated or not, your doctor and you should decide that if you are leery because you have COPD and why should a doctor determine that, because people on a message board do not know your exact condition. If you are fearful, ask your doctor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
