Conspiracy theory that it turns you gay/gives you cancer/makes you a pod person coming in 3, 2, 1....

I'm withholding any opinion until I hear from the head of the FDA who has surely been using the US government's teams of hundreds of scientists to get the best Gold standard science on this technology

The only thing the FDA needs to hear is that this will make a lot of money for the shareholders.

Dunno, ask Alex Jones, he's the one peddling it as bad even though there's reason to think he's a bisexual swinger.

I mean, if you don't want to be, that'd be kind of a bummer. I wouldn't know though...

Oddly enough, I have a strong feeling this will get marginally more support and a warmer reception than injectable vaccines.

Source: I've argued with dozens of people about vaccines in real life, and 90% of them were JUST scared of needles and injections and just built giant palaces of rationalization that consumed their whole lives to validate that fear. You know who doesn't give a shit about vaccines even if they're conservative? Diabetics who have to inject insulin every day.

This is an interesting notion I hadn't considered at all, you may be on to something there.

It drove me nuts in the early days of the COVID vaccine and some study came out showing that a lot of the people against the vaccine were really just afraid of needles, but had a good chance to get their courage up if the news media would just stop plastering pictures of needles in every story about the vaccine. So, what did the news media do? They just kept right on throwing pictures of needles on every story.
