Vaccinations could be made less painful by treating skin with a vaccine-laden liquid and using ultrasound to push it into the body

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.

    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.

      You should really educate yourself before making yourself look like a fool in a comment.

        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.

          Forced vaccinations weren’t and still aren’t a thing in the US. (I’m sure there were exceptions, but I mean large scale and general public)

          However requiring a vaccine in order to participate in society (jobs, school, etc.) is perfectly reasonable. It’s still a choice, just that the consequences are on those making the choice instead of on those around them.

      Someone being a vegan doesn’t exactly put other people at risk.

      Where does other peoples’ freedom start? Do you also have the freedom to burn toxic materials in your backyard, where your neighbours can inhale the smoke? Because proper disposal of toxic waste is much more similar to getting vaccinated than your metaphor.

      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?

        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.
