    Good thinking. That would be doing it old-style.

    Wasn’t the polio vaccine on a sugar cube? Or was that some other vaccine. Anyway, indeed a vaccine in beer would be ideal. Get your free beer here!

    Another Corona reference? The circle of life, sort of.

    It would interrupt the spread because the virus is transmitted by beer.

    If you have the smartest scientists in the world, how come you have the highest COVID infection rate in the world. Oh, right. Smartest scientists, dumbest politicians.

    We could achieve herd immunity in a matter of weeks.

    Yes,the first round of polio vaccine was a shot,but the next round was in sugar cubes.I know cause I was there.I guess because kids were primarily involved,they used a treat for us.So,finding a way to put the covid vaccine in something most adults would drink is a great idea.:)

    The oral vaccine I know is the polio vaccine I took on a sugar cube in the 60’s.

    I’ve wished most medications could be given via patch, though as I age, it might double as underwear, since the number seems to increase each year.

    Fortunately, the CDC has phase 3 trials ongoing with several breweries…

    I’m sure the comments here are joking and people know that both the alcohol in beer and stomach acid would destroy the vaccine, but it’s an interesting historical fact that the cause of cholera was discovered by a doctor who noticed that only brewery workers were immune. It turned out they drank only beer, which killed the bacteria, while the general public drank water from the nearby contaminated well.

    The McCoys are obviously trying for a brew-ha-ha.

    If they did that I’d take it, and more than two.

    If drinking a can of beer was all that stood between me and a long healthy life… well, bring on the COVID, the flu, the measles, and chicken pox, and everything else!

    Still waiting for the Star Trek era of hypo-sprays to hit the medical field.

    But it would be a bad choice for alcoholics. Also a tough choice for them. Still, fun to think about!

    “…the smartest scientists in the world….”

    The smartest scientists are rarely the “smartest” marketers… and vice versa.
