Actually you could eat vaccines with no problems (unless you tried to eat the syringes too) but it would be a waste.
Stomach acid and digestive enzymes will just deactivate most components. Live vaccines might cause issues (probably wouldn’t want to drink the TB vaccine). The post in discussion shows a shocking fundamental misunderstanding about how all of this works though. It is meant for like-minded people who would accept this logic.
It makes me wonder if there are any substances that are safe to inject straight into your tissue that your body would even notice–let alone kill you–if you ingested in the same quantity as an injection. Icky taste aside…
Maybe some compound that is relatively harmless on its own but yields a toxic compound in contact with stomach acid? Blood is slightly alkaline so it would not trigger after an injection and leave time for the kidneys and liver to degrade it. Maybe some cyanogenic glycoside?
I think you could drink a spoonfull of vaccines with no ill effects
Yes, in general if you can safely inject something then you can safely eat it too (it’ll taste like shit though). Vaccine won’t work that way, but you probably won’t even feel any I’ll effects beyond the terrible taste.
I’m actually curious if there are any exceptions to this - things you can inject but highly toxic if ingested.
Antivaxx mfers when they learn some vaccines are administered orally
Vaccines are the opposite of healthy, they are specifically made to trigger your immune system. That’s why with most vaccines the next day or days people feel like shit, it’s like being sick. But the vaccine is much better than getting the disease it’s designed for, is perfectly safe and has no permanent effects besides the training it gave the immune system.
Plus most vaccines are perfectly fine to eat, they just won’t work that way.
That’s why with most vaccines the next day or days people feel like shit
I have been warned about this for every vaccine I remember taking… other than the occasional sore spot where the injection went, I have never felt any other side effects.
This is anecdotal of course, but I am pretty sure the instances of these mild side effects is less than 10%
Usually I don’t really feel any vaccines, maybe a bit less energy the day after.
But one of the covid vaccines (I think the one for omicron) hit me like a ton of bricks, I was passed out on my bed for a good 24 hours and felt like shit for a couple of days. Heard similar from other people. But with another covid shot I felt nothing where my girlfriend had the worst headache for a day.
So it depends as always. One day of being sick is so much better than getting some of the awful diseases I’ve been vaccinated against.
Plus most vaccines are perfectly fine to eat, they just won’t work that way.
I imagine in alternate universe, Covid vaccine would, for some technological, economical or logistical reason became cheap and abundant like water, and restaurants would serve it as a side drink.
Just to spite the republicans.
I’m sorry I ate all the vaccines everyone. I was really hungry.
