Aspiration was taught to me as an army medic. We used to vaccinate all the incoming recruits and officer cadets and I did that role for a number of years giving at least a thousand vaccines all up. I recall at least three times aspirating blood. So it isn't common, 0.3% chance as a guess. But it does happen that you can and do end up in a vein sometimes. Because nobodies blood vessels are exactly the same and in the same place.

Body types probably a lot less varied than those going to the local pharmacy I would imagine though, correct?

Very much so. Mostly 18-25yo and relatively fit looking eg you don't get many seriously overweight, why would they want to do basic training or run up hills for hours? You don't have any elderly or children. Nor anyone with significant medical conditions.

You get thinner, thicker, taller, shorter, lighter and darker. And you get 80%ish males and 20%ish females.

I thought I read somewhere 5% was getting reported as hitting a blood vessel. I'll have to ask my mom.

Who knows, perhaps but I don't reckon it's that high. The main point is that it does happen. And I cannot for the life of me understand the justification for not doing it. Especially where multiple shots are involved. Eg say everyone got boosters.

That isn't just 0.3-5% the one time. It is again and again. With those large numbers and those high frequencies. People will get hurt.

As an old RN (USA) I am very confused by all this controversy around aspiration...we were taught to aspirate every single time we gave an intramuscular injection; it was not optional. Has this changed?

"Immunization policy within Alberta Health Services (AHS) states aspiration is not necessary (Alberta Health Services, 2018), while the World Health Organization (WHO) does not mention aspiration in its most recent practice guide for IM immunizations (2015). Thomas et al. (2016) conducted a survey in which 75 % of Registered Nurses (RN) reported aspirating IM injections over 90 % of the time.

Wow. Aspiration has always been part of the nursing dogma as far as I and my contemporaries are concerned; it would feel weird/wrong to not do it. I'll look to see if there's any science that would account for the change in practice. Thanks so much!

"Syringe aspiration when vaccinating intramuscularly was not recommended before the pandemic due to the lack of conclusive evidence that it provides any benefit. However, in vivo evidence suggests that intravenous injection of mRNA vaccine can potentially lead to myocarditis, while introducing adenoviral vector to bloodstream can possibly result in thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy."

Thanks. I'm really surprised. Saving this.

"Intramuscular injections are administered at a 90-degree angle to the skin, preferably into the anterolateral aspect of the thigh or the deltoid muscle of the upper arm, depending on the age of the patient (Table 1). For purposes of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, it will be in the deltoid muscle. The needle gauge for intramuscular injection is 22-25 gauge. A decision on needle length and site of injection must be made for each person on the basis of the size of the muscle, the thickness of adipose tissue at the injection site, the volume of the material to be administered, injection technique, and the depth below the muscle surface into which the material is to be injected (Figure 1). If the subcutaneous and muscle tissue are bunched to minimize the chance of striking bone, a 1-inch needle or larger is required to ensure intramuscular administration. Aspiration before injection of vaccines or toxoids (i.e., pulling back on the syringe plunger after needle insertion but before injection) is not necessary because no large blood vessels are present at the recommended injection sites."

Wow. The practice HAS changed. Thanks.

Yes, and as other places explain not for good reason.

I added a list of other substackers who have written about aspirating to the end of my post.

Thank you!

For the jab only as I understand it.

The nurses were re-trained to not aspirate with the jab.

Wow. That makes no sense to me.

If you think about it as trying to harm people, it makes total sense.

Could be.

None of the shots administered in videos that I watched did the nurse aspirate.

Will watch some; thanks. The references you provided were all from Canada...maybe policies are different there...?

The paranoid part of my brain wonders if they were actually giving N.S. rather than the gene therapy shot. I wouldn't be concerned about hitting a vein under those circumstances--but I would STILL aspirate.

Dr. Campbell is in the UK. They do not aspirate in the US, either.

I did and all the RN's I know do, unless you mean only the mRNA jabs.

This “EUA” is completely fraudulent. 1) There was from the beginning safe, effective, cheap and readily available prophylactics. 2) This “vaccine” was never experimental, it was designed before the “virus” as a bioweapon. 3) This bioweapon was mandated which is illegal under EUA.

So. If it’s frozen, it has to stay at ultra low temps. Not just very low. Ultra low.

But if it’s liquid, it can sit at refrigerator temps for ten weeks. Hmmm.

And if the rubber seal has been punctured, then it can sit at temps equal to a nice Midwestern spring day (77). For half a day.

Forgive me, but, ummm, this seems weird.

So, so many conditions. What could possibly go wrong with all of those conditions? All of these garbage [inoculations] are going to such [well “trained professionals”, in places like whatever brand name corner hub p-HARM-massy].

Of course [these Pieces Of Shit (POS)] will definitely follow all of the stringent guidelines to the letter. Even if [they] do not, what could go wrong as [they] are all protected with unlimited [freedom from liability]? Btw, how much do places make for everyone [they] inoculate?

I don't think the people giving these shots are capable of comprehending the storage directions.... they haven't grasped the murderous nature of the vaccines apparently as they still give them. I don't think their brains are working efficiently, or perhaps they are not controlling their own brains. Who knows at this point? It's just all so OFF, to put it mildly.

You have hit the nail on the head.

This to me; and in the words of my mentor; is a war of essences. John 8:44 makes it plain as day. The truth shall set you free is another truth in this time.

We have also been promised to know who is who. Take it or leave it as the lies fall off.

Well put...war of essences. Sure feels like it. Illusions are dropping. 🙏🕯️

Oh, and the vac PROVIDER is supposed to report subsequent VID infection?! Guess that nicely absolves anyone else from reporting? Like, the diagnosing physician or other healthcare professional.

That walgreens clerk just hired yesterday is jabbing left and right and spending his/her free nights submitting proper VAERs reports because everyone with vax injuries always first returns to the clerk for medical diagnosis. I am amazed there are as many VAERs entries as there is. Truly the underreporting on VAERS is 99% because of this "pass the buck" setup.

Omigosh, this has got to stop. I suggested to Jeff Childers that he report on VAERs daily ... we'll see.

AND when Dr. Campbell got his first jab, he asked the nurse to aspirate. She said that it wasn't required. He took the jab anyway.
