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.

      As interesting as that would be to happen, in reality, there’s just going to be a bunch more people going without pre natal care.

          Until they run out of land that’s not private property. I think they’ll use mass graves first, then just to bury the bones and teeth that don’t burn.

          I fervently wish I’d skipped this thread.

        Hilariously enough, it’s closer to the other way 'round. Higher frequencies means more bandwidth but they can be blocked easier. Lower frequencies can go farther before being attenuated too much.

          One of my friend’s friends has a PhD in psychology, but she thinks that nuclear radiation has healing properties and told me to move out of NYC because there was too much 5G everywhere. She still uses a smartphone though, just on a selfie stick on speakerphone 🤣 She also told me that she was afraid of the radio in her car because of the radio waves.

            In a way she’s actually not wrong. That’s what radiotherapy is. Focused nuclear radiation to heal cancer.

              She doesn’t have cancer though, she’s perfectly healthy and is an “alternative medicine practitioner”. She said she sleeps with a piece of thorium under her pillow.

              Regardless of it being used for cancer treatment, nuclear radiation isn’t good for the body in any way. Various forms of radiation (not just nuclear) are harmful, like getting too much sun.

                  I’m convinced that she’s just nuts. My friend, who is her friend (how I met this woman), told me that the woman has started “Urine Therapy” and I just said “Jesus fucking Christ I I just have nothing to say” because I didn’t wanna get into a debate with him about it.

      Intramuscular always caused me soreness, except maybe once. I don’t know what that nurse did differently, I felt the needle sink in, and it hurt; but there was near-zero residual soreness.

    We do realize that force vaccination is a human right violation, right?

    Especially, when the product is not actually “safe nor effective.

    It’s comparable yet worse than force feeding animal meat to a vegan.

        The principles of bodily autonomy support the moron, unfortunately. Forcing something into the body of another against their will is generally considered a deplorable act, and makes the forcer criminally liable for any harm that arises.

        I’m certainly not anti-vax, but I can’t find a philosophically sound justification for forcibly vaccinating an individual.

      If you don’t update your computer security, you might be email out viruses to your contacts without even knowing. Is it their responsibility not to get infected or is the responsibility ultimately on you to stay updated?

        Terrible analogy. Human lives and computer systems are not really comparable. Pretty sure the responsibility of keeping each computer free of virus falls on the users of those terminals or the IT department managing it.

        Has a security update ever done more harm than the virus that it’s trying to stop?

        Check r/vaccinelonghaulers in reddit for more information.

        COVID has a very high survival rate without intervention. Early treatment with a few drugs proved to be more efficacious on saving lives. Intubation and Remdesevir killed more people than it helped.

        And, at least in the US, many of us who are against the mRNA gene therapies will literally as in actually fight to the death those Nazis who are into force injecting things into people.

        I will; however, continue to pray for all those who received doses that they don’t succumb to cardiac myopathies, blood clots, or strokes.

        So many people that had the shots are struggling with perpetual pneumonias. It’s sad.
