Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles (www.newscientist.com)

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.
