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.
This is more unsettling than a needle to me.
You ever check out jet injectors?
a narrow, high-pressure stream of liquid penetrates the outermost layer of the skin to deliver medication to targeted underlying tissues
It's how I got some vaccines in gradeschool. To the underside of my upper arm, the fatty bit. Hurt like fuck.
This is what I was thinking when reading the title. That one supposedly was cool, because there was no needle, never seen one in action but I presume there also was no bleeding.
Yet we don’t see them used today, apparently the biggest reason was that there was a splashback and retrograde follow and then patient’s blood could end up contaminating the nozzle, so basically it was like using the same needle on multiple patients.
I think no. I don’t like needles either, but I’ll deal with those first.
Notwithstanding but I read about this, or something similar to this years ago, I want to say something seven or eight, and we’re still in the same phase with this tech.
Not going to be holding my breath on this one.
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.
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.
Good thing no one is being forced then and that the vaccines are safe and effective

I have more, but this one is fresh.
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.
Can we give children vaccines in a way that the only prevention would be to wear a mask???
This would… Possibly work…
man a little vaccine needle is the least painful shot, i didn't even feel the last 5 i got until the next day
Yeahhhhhhhhh there is some value here

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.
Was getting poke with a needle ever a problem that it needed this?

This seems suspicious, I’m not sure if it won’t work at all or will kill you, but I wouldn’t go near these without significant testing.

Luckily, most countries do not allow medical practices without rigorous testing.

But their uncle Jim says that a friend of his knew a guy who got hurt by that.

Which is what happens with medical devices.

Neat. I'm wondering about the effectiveness with thicker skin in humans.

What… Ultrasound is non invasive.

I’m thinking getting the dosage right will be very difficult
meekah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The article says that the dosage is about 700x lower but more antibodies are created. So it doesn’t seem like that’s a real issue
