Vaccines can be delivered through the skin using ultrasound. This method doesn’t damage the skin and eliminates the need for painful needles. To create a needle-free vaccine, Darcy Dunn-Lawless at the University of Oxford and his colleagues mixed vaccine molecules with tiny, cup-shaped proteins. They then applied liquid mixture to the skin of mice and exposed it to ultrasound – like that used for sonograms – for about a minute and a half.

While this is awesome, I can already imagine anti-vaxxers are now deathly afraid of ultrasounds lol

Brace yourselves! Vaccination with sound conspiracies coming in!

“The IRS called, they vaccinated me trough my phone in my ear!!?”

“Mass vaccinations trough radio!!?”

As much as I hate fucking mobile alerts, they already thought the last test was some magical bullshit.

Ya see that one where someone's landlord went loopy and cut power to their building because he'd consumed a bunch of conspiracy nut stuff?

I didn't but I'm not surprised. I feel like this mystical thinking is rooted in our acceptance of religion to some extent.

This will just be their proof of the 5G-Covid link.

They push the vaccine through your skin with 5G!

I know you are joking, but I suspect that many people would swallow this idea while without any thought whatsoever.

Yes, we live in an age of uncritical thought.

When they'll hear about it they'll make ultrasound themselves)

"Translating" they are gonna freak out and scream their pants out

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wanna bet that they will somehow combine this with 5G conspiracies?

"It's all just a wave after all!!!!!!" ^/s^

That's just what I said above, this will be their "proof" of the 5G-Covid link.

Idk, anti vaxxers aren't afraid of needles/syringes as far as I understand. They don't want that kind of substance to be put inside their body, regardless of the method of administration

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's too bad we can't put vaccines in cum. We'd either have nearly 100% vaccine rates or the antivaxxers would quickly die out.

This is low key Genius.

Great work happiness, with every dose also comes a redose every 60 days. How many patients can you handle

I mean, yes, but a lot of them also think it's a conspiracy where world leaders are trying to vaccinate everyone because ??? Those types will start avoiding ultrasound to not get tricked into getting vaccinated.

The best part is "depopulation by helping people stay healthy" e.g. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

that's the joke
