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.

I'm convinced that she's just nuts. My friend, who is her friend (how I met this woman), told me that the woman has started "Urine Therapy" and I just said "Jesus fucking Christ... I... I just have nothing to say" because I didn't wanna get into a debate with him about it.
