A needle-free vaccine patch that's cheaper than a needle

One hundred sixty years after the invention of the needle and syringe, we're still using them to deliver vaccines; it's time to evolve. Biomedical engineer Mark Kendall demos the Nanopatch, a one-centimeter-by-one-centimeter square vaccine that can be applied painlessly to the skin. He shows how this tiny piece of silicon can overcome four major shortcomings of the modern needle and syringe, at a fraction of the cost.

I don't believe in overactivating my inflammatory immune cytokines with a mercury/aluminum cocktail vaccine that leads to neurodegeneration. If I want my immune system to be responsive so my body can fight off a foreign agent I'll digest sodium bicarbonate for oxidation & mother of vinegar to detox...but if your already sick take this asap & feel better almost instantly. flu shots are the biggest scam & I really don't care how you'll judge me but when it's time for your forced inoculations & you end up with a vaccine injury just remember who had your best interest at heart!

This will never catch on. Dr's enjoy sticking needles in people far too much. Every job needs a perk :*

#4 Yes & No...but I don't need to take a shot that causes encephalitis to treat encephalitis. Over $2.7 billion was paid to vaccine injury victims as compensation. This isn't up for debate & anybodies opinion is irrelevant since I'm basing everything I say on ice cold facts(i)

#5, well, compare that to the overall cost of all vaccines in all countries and that $2.7b is a dwarf. Therefore even in a purely financial viewpoint it clearly wins by factors. (did you look at the graph...?? 6000 ng or 6,5)

#7 "...purely financial viewpoint" couldn't of said it better myself. This is clearly still undebatable.
