Ice Pack for Injections Courtesy 3D Printing
Rice University undergraduates have developed a quick and easy way to numb the skin, making shots virtually pain-free. And it could be a value enhancement that might differentiate pharmacy vaccination clinics from those provided by all other health professionals.

Is “The Conversation” Biased?
Editor’s Note: The “No jab, no pay” policy being developed at Australian Government level has brought many vaccine policy activists to the forefront, with polarisation to extreme levels between pro-vaxers and anti-vaxers and a range of other perspectives in between. i2P prefers to support the perspective of “safe-vaxing” as it is definitely not against the…

Some questions for Scott Morrison on the ‘no jabs/no pay’ policy
Dear Minister, It appears that your government may withhold Centrelink payments from parents who choose to not vaccinate their children, do so partially, or on a delayed basis.

I’ve been thinking about SOS, shingles, and the v-word.
SOS is the worldwide signal for distress. When originally used in 1908, the letters did not represent words. Rather, the characters were chosen for the ease with which they could be telegraphed and deciphered via Morse Code.

Are Medical Jihadists Becoming a Reality?
In 2011, just six days after the Paris office of Charlie Hebdo, a French satirical magazine came under threat for having run cartoons of the prophet Mohammed, and it subsequently was gutted by a fire bomb.
