It's good to see that HN continues to find ways to increase pedantry! You know what I meant, intramuscularly.

“You know what I meant”
No. I am not a mindreader. And “vaccines are injected into the bloodstream” is a standard antivax lie.
Yes there’s a risk in receiving a vaccine, just as there’s a risk in receiving any prophylactic/therapeutic treatment, but severe side-effects are closer to 1-in-100K to 1-in-a-million. Compared to a disease that is currently killing 2-in-100, with significant sequelae likely much higher.
I’m happy to accept that “bloodstream” was a slip of the tongue, but really try not to make those malignant lying bastards’ jobs any easier, when people die because of them.

If you had actually read what I wrote thoughtfully -- instead of falling over yourself to type a glib reply as fast as you could get it out -- it would have been easy to recognize that I am clearly not anti-vaccine, nor was I suggesting that side effects are common. I said both of those things explicitly.
If your goal is actually to educate others, then educate others. Replying with snark achieves nothing but temporarily boosting your own ego.
