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.

So.... 5G?

[–] tsonfeir@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s obviously 6G

Ohhh that makes so much sense.

No time to waste, need to stock up on aluminum foil!

(Seriously though this is going to go off the rails quick. I know someone who put their phone in the microwave just to avoid it getting the emergency broadcast system test. "I don't trust anything about FEMA")

… did they turn the microwave on?

[–] Veneroso@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

No but that would have been hilarious. Though probably a fire hazard.
