Vaccine Patch Removes Needle Pain
wog777 writes "Researchers led by Mark Prausnitz of Georgia Institute of Technology reported their research on microneedles in Sunday's edition of Nature Medicine. A microneedle contains needles so small you don't even feel them. Attached to a patch like a Band-Aid, the little needles barely penetrate the skin before they dissolve and release their vaccine."
On behalf of physicians everywhere who treat kids, I'd like to advise you to go to hell for making your kids think of us as the punishment people. If you want to threaten them with pain, please threaten to do it yourself.
Hell? I knew doctors weren't good scientists.

If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
"the last time I had a blood test, my body just shut down and stopped pumping blood"
You're an idiot. If your heart actually stopped (which is the only way your body can "just stop pumping blood") then you would have been told so after the doctors where you were restarted it. You don't just have your heart stop, "feel like you're about to pass out", and then feel just fine after the needle is taken out.
-1 disagree is not a modifier for a reason. -1 troll, flaimbait, redundant, overrated are NOT acceptable substitutes.
I suggest you grow up.
Like the fear of talking to girls, needles are something you should have learned to handle like everyone else. The same goes for spiders.

Since everybody knows that getting a single shot of vaccine increases the chances of getting autism by about 10%, obviously getting thousands of shots from a bunch of needles will increase the chances of getting autism by tens of thousands of percent. If this technique is approved, we are going to be overwhelmed with super-autistic kids. On the plus side, when this happens, the government will not be able to cover it up any more and claim that people like me are just wacky conspiracy theorists who don't understand probabilities.
One time a dentist thought I was kidding and surprised me with a needle in the face. My reaction was so severe I cracked his chair backwards trying to get away from it.
That's pathetic. Suck it up and act like an adult.
