A Covid therapy derived from a llama named Fifi has shown "significant potential" in early trials.

It is a treatment made of "nanobodies", small, simpler versions of antibodies, which llamas and camels produce naturally in response to infection.

Once the therapy has been tested in humans, scientists say, it could be given as a simple nasal spray - to treat and even prevent early infection.

Prof James Naismith described nanobodies as "fantastically exciting". ]snip]

Yeah, yeah...a single drop of llamajuice and a binder of some sort...

1. Hide your camels and llamas.

I don't even what to know what the anti-vaxxers will do to try and get their nanobodies.

2. People are saying the nanobodies are found in the urine of the animals (nt)

4. I mentioned several days ago that the anti-vax crowd will now be gargling Llama urine...

although I used a shorter and more "colorful" term for urine.
