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.

      They already have. Abortion is healthcare; where they’ve outlawed it they’ve literally outlawed the free practice of OB/GYN medicine, and instead subjected it to political oversight with criminal penalties. The OB/GYNs, unsurprisingly, are leaving red states, and the new ones are refusing residencies there. Maternity units and even a few hospitals have already closed in rural red areas, especially Idaho, leaving remote pregnant women with zero local OB/GYN care or delivery facilities. (If I’m preaching to the choir here, I do apologize lol)

      They already have left it in shambles. And they’ve only just started.

      This is just one more thing on the hot steaming pile of Republican red state horseshit.
