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.

It's really good that the media really managed to communicate to people that antivaxers are the enemy of everyone now.

When I think of an antivaxer, I imagine it's some creature that we don't normally see, because they are so ugly, stupid and insane that they wouldn't be able to function in society without a lot of help getting their pants on in the morning.

I mean, imagine going against the specific advice of all those experts and NOT taking the vaccine?? That's like putting a gun to the head of grandma who just wants to live her last few days in happiness, and then that stupid antivaxer just kills her! So evil.

I'm thankful we live in a society where we now can be confident what is true, because it's very clearly being communicated to all of us, all the time. Who can miss that?? It's like everywhere! Stupid antivaxers, hope they all die off like the poison on society they all are.

Where does it say anything about antivaxxers?

Not sure how to interpret your comment. Is it being sarcastic?

Antivaxxers are indeed fucking stupid pieces of shit. It isn't some propaganda by the media. It's science / logic.

Of course not. We have science, and there should be no reason to question that anymore, now that we know what the truth is. It took us a long time to get here too. But now we know.
