This kind of crap is why I still follow ‘@BadMedicineTakes’ on Xitter.
Everyone in this post is asking “but would a spoonful of vaccine actually kill you”
but no-one is asking “but would a broccoli injection actually kill you”.
(Neither am I.)
yep, it’s true. Don’t eat needles, dudes.
The rotavirus vaccine is literally administered orally
Will you actually die if you drink a spoonful of vaccine?
Definitely not. If you had enough volume to fill a spoon, around 15 mL, it would be 30-60 times greater than your typical injected vaccine. Some individuals might have a slight immune reaction (think upset stomach, body aches, etc) to its viral fraction, but those people would likely have a similar reaction to the same vaccine being injected. Many people wouldn’t notice anything at all.
