As someone who knows very little about the vaccines we take, are they actually dangerous if consumed? We literally inject it into our veins (although apparently some injections (not necessarily vaccines) are injected into the muscle), how could it possibly be dangerous if taken orally?
The whole purpose of not taking vaccines orally is to bypass the digestive system. Not because the vaccine is dangerous to us, but rather our digestive system is dangerous to the vaccine.
Yeah but I'd be interested to see the actual logic (if there is any) of the person making the claim that taking a spoonful of injected vaccine orally will outright kill you, since it makes no intuitive sense. The response tweet in the OP image is also strange because it seems to accept this premise without question despite objecting to its anti-vaccine stance.
Not at all. There's nothing in them that would cause any problems taken orally.
If anything, taking them orally reduces of eliminates their efficacy
