Ultrasound can push vaccines into the body without needles

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.

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

baseless_discourse,

I know a person IRL that is morbidly afraid of needles, they would have a panic attack just seeing others getting poked. And apparently they have a self-help group somewhere, so they are definitely not alone.

Yeah, vaccine like these can definitely save their live.

inclementimmigrant,

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.

That does sound amazing. Do we know if they lose any effectiveness?

IEatAsbestos,

Probably not, theres been some needleless vaccines before that did ok. If anyone has done time in the military you’re probably familiar. Also any loss in efficacy could probably just be offset with higher concentrations

SVcross,
@SVcross@lemmy.world avatar

First of all, thank you for taking the time help me understand. I didn’t know about past vaccines that used the system.

echodot,

The smallpox vaccine was put on a sugar lump that children then ate (It really was a different time) And even after going through the digestive tract it still worked.

tinwhiskers,
@tinwhiskers@lemmy.world avatar

They didn’t use this system. There are other needleless systems, primarily jet systems that use high pressure.

Saledovil,

So, now antivax mothers can’t get ultrasound anymore while they’re pregnant?

It’s obviously 6G

Veneroso,

Ohhh that makes so much sense.

No time to waste, need to stock up on aluminum foil!

No but that would have been hilarious. Though probably a fire hazard.

does this work for real drugs striaght into the brainstem???

Emerald,

I guess it’s interesting but this seems to have minimal use case. For those with reactions to injections and such it’s useful, but it seems much easier to use a needle in most cases. Also that article claims that it “doesn’t damage the skin”, but I don’t see why a vaccine would cause any meaningful damage to the skin in the first place.

Edit: Okay I’m seeing now how this would be useful for more frequent injections like insulin and such if it can be used like that.

systemglitch,

It literally tears a hole in the flesh with a puncture wound. It’s the definition of damaging.

Minor damage, but damage none the less.

ABCDE,

I have a phobia of needles so this comes in very very handy. I just wish there was one for taking blood out.

I guess the fear of needles is a constant problem when children are vaccinated. Having an alternative method ready could make it easier for children, parents and doctors.

weker01,

Not only children. I know a guy that passes out (or almost does) when they try to inject him with needles.

Octavio,

I know a guy like that too. Okay, it’s me. I have to ask the doctor to let me be lying down when I get a shot. But at least it’s not as embarrassing as passing out in the little chair and have a 115 lb. nurse trying to hold me up before I hit the floor. That has happened more than once.

QuodamoresDei,

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.

Holyginz,

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

Rivalarrival,

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.

davidgro,

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.

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

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?

QuodamoresDei,

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.

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Got a source? I didn’t think so.

QuodamoresDei,

For which part?

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Perpetual pneumonia being caused by vaccines and not the obvious: long covid

SkyeStarfall,

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.

Draedron,

Good thing no one is being forced then and that the vaccines are safe and effective

QuodamoresDei,

vigilantnews.com/…/nz-whistleblower-arrested-for-…

I have more, but this one is fresh.

Kase,

I had a friend who would have severe reactions to injections. He wasn’t afraid of needles, but his body would have weird reactions lasting about a week after having an injection. It was really problematic, so he tried to avoid them whenever possible. All this to say, I bet he’d be excited if something like this were made available to him.

Jarix,

Had a class mate in elementary school that literally ram screeming when we were getting out hepititis shots. This would be great for someone’s like that who is very much afraid of needles

ABCDE,

That’s me.

Kage520,

The mRNA shots are very sensitive. I’m not allowed to shake them prior to administration, only swirl gently. I feel like this tech will damage them no?

tsonfeir,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

Im sure they’d have to develop something that would be compatible. It’s in the early stages, but it looks like a cool idea even if it isn’t practical for every application.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

what will the anti-vax say

seejur,

Nothing of importance as usual

SpezBroughtMeHere,

Maybe you can help this make sense for me, as no one else has. We all know the government has proven to be corrupt, regardless of which party is in charge. We also know that Big Pharma is corrupt as hell too. Their goal is to keep us sick because healthy people don’t buy medicine. Now all of a sudden when they both say “Here take this shot otherwise you’ll kill grandma” we’re supposed to believe they have our best interest in mind? Like, why now? Why am I supposed to trust that what they say is safe and effective is actually that? I mean, drugs that have been used and studied for decades have been pulled of the shelf because it turns out it does more harm than good. It’s also been proven that the covid vaccine isn’t nearly as effective that they were touting.

nossaquesapao,

I will try…

Vaccines are studied by researchers from different affiliations, and published in peer-reviewed journals. Such studies require multiple stages, and when a vaccine is considered ready for the public, its side effects are already known.

Big pharma is corrupt, but their main goal is money, and they get A LOT of money from selling vaccines. In the unlikely event of one company frauding a vaccine, this would be such a scandal that would affect its commercial relations in the entire world, thus, generating less profit in the long run and making investors move to other companies.

The government is corrupt, but they want the population to be healthy enough to work, pay taxes and contribute to gdp. Giving room for simple diseases to kill people goes totally against the government’s goals.

Remember, neither governments or companies want people to die, and curing lethal or disabling diseases goes in their own interests. Besides, we already have lots of chronic diseases and conditions around to continuously sell medicine.

There’s no reason for any involved party to create fake vaccines and give it to people. If you’re really unsure, I recommend contacting universities and asking about assessment programs ( I don’t know how that would be called in english), because some places test samples from vaccines that will be used, in order to check if everything is ok. They probably publish the results too, and they’re not only experts in the field, but are independent parties.

I hope this was of some help.

Mossheart,

That was the most non-judgemental and logical answer I’ve seen in a while to vaccine hesitancy, nice work.

Emerald,

neither governments or companies want people to die

laughs in minority

but anyways very good points in your comment

maynarkh,

Dead slaves don’t make money

Lemminary,

You’re talking in such broad strokes that it’d take an entire essay to dissect what you’re saying.

In short, there are areas of government and industry where corruption is a problem and others where it’s not, and yet regulation is still the norm. You frame it like it’s not that way at all and structure your argument around that. The reality is more complex with many other actors:

we’re supposed to believe they have our best interest in mind?

Yes. Neither big pharma nor the government are calling the shots all on their own. It’s not just business at play but public health along with the entire field of medicine and the research body. You’re completely ignoring the history of medicine and how it has shaped our global health sector.

Epidemiologists around the world have been warning us about pandemics for decades, especially about coronaviruses since SARS hit Asia. These viruses are ancient and their potential is well studied. Only their mechanisms of infection are new.

Like, why now?

Because evolution happened right in front of our eyes and we happened to have a technology ready for it. mRNA vaccines have been 30 years in the making. Shit happened and we were the lucky winners. This is how history goes.

Why am I supposed to trust that what they say is safe and effective is actually that?

Because of science. Big effort is put into this by independent bodies by microbiologist, pharmacists, geneticists/molecular biologists, chemists, immunologists, etc. advancing their individual careers. Countless hours of labor has gone into making the technology possible and also painstakingly understanding the microbiology that makes it all possible. I think this arguably and easily goes back to the 70s. It’s not new and it’s not just one group behind this, even if only three people got the Nobel Prize for it within the last year.

drugs that have been used and studied for decades have been pulled of the shelf because it turns out it does more harm than good

Yes, and also many hundreds of others have endured and will continue to be safe within reason. The list of essential medications is incredibly long.

As the saying goes, “if it can’t harm you, it can’t cure you,” because it means it doesn’t interact with your body in any way.

The reasons for pulling drugs out of stores are incredibly varied and you can’t just dump them all into one bucket.

One of those reasons is human error, another is uncertainty and yet another is lack of knowledge, among so many others. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Instead, be grateful that our pharmacovigillance is working and that safer drugs are being made with new tech, like the mRNA vaccines.

the covid vaccine isn’t nearly as effective

Because of evolution. It’s an evolutionary arms race against a virus with a short mutation cycle that branches off into variants quicker than we can adjust our drugs. If the virus didn’t change, it’d have been exterminated the first year of the vaccines.

Please let me know if I need to clarify, correct or expand on anything above. I’m happy to provide credible sources where needed.

Marin_Rider,

healthy people buy medicine to stay healthy.

Dead people do not.

StenSaksTapir,

They will make up stories that ultra sounds scans is a nefarious way of vaccinating you without consent and consequently refusing to go to important checkups.

They’re incredibly predictable. Just pretend to barely understand the subject matter, then invent the most alarmist way of misunderstanding it.

Honytawk,

Oh oh!

They will say that ultrasounds is how they update the chips that are already in-vaccinated, to include new ways the deep state can control the population.

You got to keep the narrative evolving.

Pipoca,

Ultrasound vaccines give you ultra-autism.

Gork,

But the microchips are already equipped with 5G (and it even amplifies it, this is why our cell phone coverage is so good). Surely they can just push an OTA update, right?
