Instead of getting an injection at your doctor's office...future shots could be painless and administered in your own time anywhere that's convenient.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WTVD) -- New technology coming out of UNC Chapel Hill could change everything about how vaccines are administered.
Scientists at UNC and Stanford created a 3-D printed vaccine patch that's as small as the tip of your finger.
The vaccine patch uses microneedles just long enough to attach to the skin. From there, the vaccine directly targets immune cells in the skin.
The brains behind the new vaccine patch said it creates an immune response 10 times stronger than a typical vaccine injection that sends its contents into muscle.
The skin patch is also painless, can be self-administered and doesn't need to be kept in the freezer.

An anti-masker in line behind me turned to a masked, elderly woman behind her and said, "why are wearing a mask?" She replied, "so I won't catch whatever it is that makes you act that way."
New York Governor Kathy Hochul said: she will deploy medically trained National Guard troops to replace unvaccinated healthcare workers, who will be fired tonight.

Biological fitness (according to Darwin) involves the creation of whatever amounts to a grandchild - your offspring needs to reproduce. In this way, your genetic material has now been passed to another generation. Having a child isn't enough to ensure fitness - nature can make sterile offspring from random creatures that mate.
So giving someone a Darwin award after they've had a child is ignoring that they've completed step one of Darwin's requirements. In other words, having a child should disqualify you from being nominated as you've just cleared the first hurdle.
Mine hurt a lot more than the 2nd shot. Even after the headache, etc... subsided, my right arm was hot for week. You could feel the heat from three inches away. That means it's working, right?LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 4:25 pm Just got the go-ahead for a booster as a hospital employee. I'm over 9 8 mos since second dose. Can't hurt, right?
Very hotly debated right now amongst researchers and academics. Will it hurt? Nope. Will it help - that's the biggest question. *So far* the data suggests that people over the age of 70 are at greatest risk right now in terms of hospitalization and death. I've seen plenty of infectious disease doctors and virologists saying on paper they qualify for a 3rd shot but they're not getting it as they don't believe it's necessary.LawBeefaroni wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 4:25 pm Just got the go-ahead for a booster as a hospital employee.

So that was 9/8. Let's check back in with that school district in NJ to see how their "it's too hot to wear masks" policy worked:Smoove_B wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 11:37 am School has started in NJ and two large school districts in the Trumpiest parts of our state indicated that they're not wearing masks this week because it's "too hot". When the governor signed the order there was an inclusion for temperature-related exemptions. While not specific, the idea is to account for days when it's 90+ and humid. For reference, today in NJ it's around 82% with some humidity. These school districts have been vocal about being forced to wear masks so now they're taking advantage of an exemption for stiggin' it purposes.
About 900 staff and students in the Toms River school district, which began the year with an optional mask policy, were listed as under quarantine early Wednesday due to possible COVID-19 exposure following 250 confirmed cases.
...
So far, 218 students and 33 employees have tested positive, though not all those cases are currently active, according to district data. Currently, 864 students and 26 staff members are at home because they were in close contact with someone who tested positive or have recently tested positive.
Those totals represent nearly 6% of students and 1.2% of staf
Blasting state officials for putting her into such an “impossible position,” local nurse Sophia Wood confirmed Wednesday that she was carefully weighing whether she was better off getting the vaccine or losing her job and dying. “On the plus side, if get vaccinated, I could get to continue to live my life healthy and happy with no drawbacks, but is that really worth giving up the right to die while out of work?” said the healthcare worker, who had spent the past weeks agonizing over a long list of pros and cons of getting vaccinated that she had written up for each side of the issue. “On one hand, I have way more items listed under the pros column, like ‘keep job,’ ‘protect others,’ and ‘protect myself,’ but on the other, I have ‘freedom’ written in big red letters, circled, and underlined multiple times. I’m pretty torn between the two. Who would issue such a cruel ultimatum?” At press time, Wood assured herself that regardless of the choice she ultimately made, she would wind up back in the hospital.

The platform announced the change in a blog post Wednesday, explaining that its current community guidelines, which already prohibit the sharing of medical misinformation, have been extended to cover "currently administered" vaccines that have been proven safe by the World Health Organization and other health officials.

Oklahoma infection rate shows that vaccinated rates of "breakthru" infection is HALF that of people who had COVID and get ANOTHER bout of COVID.
There is a broad prohibition about making public unofficial statements in uniform. The instruction that really would get her in trouble is a stretch though. She'd be in some peril if this was deemed political. It is borderline but still don't the jab too seriously. It was mostly...look at this. They'd rather drum out of the military than get a vaccine when they've likely gotten a dozen other ones if they've deployed. It's deeply dumb.stessier wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 10:57 am Why would that TikTok lead to a dishonorable discharge? It seemed like she shared everything in a pretty straightforward manner and was just asking for help identifying outside resources. She didn't call anyone out or provide commentary on what she thought of the order.
So...part of the updated dress code policy is to determine on a case-by-case basis if students should face discipline for wearing masks?"Wearing masks obviously complicates the issue of being able to identify students by their face. We will address issues around this on a case-by-case basis and determine what level of discipline is appropriate."
Pretty sure I blacked out because my head about went through my desk at that point.If a mask mandate is ever put in place - and we certainly hope that drastic and completely unnecessary step is never taken in Utah schools - then we will re-evaluate this policy."
