The whole idea of putting something in your body that AI came up with is unnerving, but this microfluid jet stream method of injection is kind of blowing my mind.

    I wouldn't say nobody uses it. In the nineties we had the option to take a vaccine (don't know which one. DPT? variola?) through that pistol thing or a regular needle. That thing hurts more, and leaves a bigger mark/scar than the needle. But it's faster as vaccination teams don't need to spend time discarding sharps. It was a stream of crying kids returning to class.

    I was reading a scientific paper on Jet Injection and noticed that part :

    Subsequent bench studies of it and the more common Ped-O-Jet® indicated that their nozzles could become contaminated with hepatitis B virus and pose a risk for transmission

    Ped-O-Jet®

    Did they seriously choose that name for their product? Was that an Epstein business? WTF.

    For anyone interested here is the full study I was reading and is very interesting :

    Pediatrics, Pedialite, and pedophile all share the same Greek root pais meaning "child". The Ped-O-Jet was developed and named in the 1960s, decades before pedophiles became so prominent in our cultural consciousness.

    Back then nobody would bat an eye at that name.
