Sounds like it only works on mice. But maybe they can give mice the nasal spray and then put the mice in your nostrils so that the mice can protect your immune system while the vaccine protects theirs. Best of both worlds really.

I'm protected from colds and the mice pilot my body to do my job? Massive win-win

Yes but they don't stop piloting you after you clock out.
