3D Printed Vaccine Skin Patches Being Developed
In an attempt to increase consumer demand for COVID-19 shots, researchers have designed a vaccine printer that can print COVID messenger RNA (mRNA) skin patches in bulk, producing as many as 100 patches in 48 hours.

More Vaccine Doses Linked to Higher Rate of Infant Mortality
A recent peer-reviewed study published in the medical journal Cureus provided evidence for a positive correlation between the number of vaccine doses given to babies and infant mortality rates. The study confirmed a 2011 study conducted by the same researchers, which found a positive correlation between the greater number of vaccines given to infants in […]
Study: COVID Shots Worsen Health of People With Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease
A new study published in the journal Rheumatology found that disease flares occurred in 1 in 10 individuals with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) following COVID-19 vaccination, particularly those with comorbidities and mental health disorders.1 Characterized by chronic inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE) are among the most well-known AIRDs.2 Following up on […]
