[DIYbio] RADVAC - (homebrew) Corona Vaccine

Has anyone looked deeper into RADVAC? 

https://radvac.org/white-paper/   

Basically they are working on a simple homebrew corona vaccine, by having peptides synthesized and mixing them with chitosan. 

The idea is that chitosan forms nanoparticles and takes up the peptides. Chitosan also acts as an adjuvant and stimulated both Th1 and Th2 response. 

The people there are already trying it on themselves and even George Church snorted it (not that that neccessarily means anything). 

The approch claims that it only uses materials and methods that have a long history of safe use.

Honestly, after the reports of long-term organ damage from Corona that doesn't look so crazy anymore? :D Worst case you snort some chitosan that gets degraded and some peptides that get turned into amino acids? Of course, I don't want to downplay the risks here. 

I just wonder what quality parameters you need. TFA content <1%? Quality parameter for peptides to not include truncated peptides or pepties missing amino acids?
