Vaccines are the laziest, lowest effort medicine we have. There is no medical treatment that is more effective for so little actual work on the part of the patient. Which is exactly the kind of medicine we need to have the greatest impact on the population base.
Even better than that. You take the medicine and it reduces everyone else's risk of getting sick, even the ones that refuse to take the medicine. It's the closest thing we have IRL to literal magic.
As an immunocompromised person, thank you to everyone who gets vaccinated against communicable disease, you make my world a little less heinous to navigate.
I appreciate your gratitude and I really do hope it does some good for others... Especially because I really hate needles but I have it done anyway for this reason. Lol 😬
People like RFK don't get it. Also, has anyone seen a fucking microchip in a syringe... ever?
I think it’s a large variation of a syringe needle that chips our pets, but aside from that monstrously large setup that isn’t even used on humans, no.
Closest thing I can think of is the capsule sized camera that can be swallowed to collect data as it travels through that long tube that connect mouth to anus. Even then, I’ve never seen that setup used on anyone.
Yeah, that's what I mean. You can feel the microchip under the skin with the real ones. But we're shown a clear liquid going in. Where are the 'chips?
You're looking for logic in the wrong place friend.
Nanotechnology exists. Not in vaccines, but it's still a thing.
They give modern tech too much credit. But I wonder what we could create if we wanted to.
You can't see them without a microscope, duhhh.
That's why they're called MICRO-chips.
In the bio hacking world, yea. There are reprogrammable RFID implants that you can get. They are rather large though and kind of suck when trying to use. Check out dangerousthings.com
I love the idea of bio hacking. Too bad the things they do have such poor risk to utility ratio 😂
When do I get my cyborg legs? That’s what I wanna know
How does Hep C cause spasmodic dysphonia? I can’t say I’ve ever seen that on the general medical Hep C bingo card.
Link?
