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.

Idk, anti vaxxers aren't afraid of needles/syringes as far as I understand. They don't want that kind of substance to be put inside their body, regardless of the method of administration

It's too bad we can't put vaccines in cum. We'd either have nearly 100% vaccine rates or the antivaxxers would quickly die out.

I mean, yes, but a lot of them also think it's a conspiracy where world leaders are trying to vaccinate everyone because ??? Those types will start avoiding ultrasound to not get tricked into getting vaccinated.

The best part is "depopulation by helping people stay healthy" e.g. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
