Why do some people want to compare a vaccine dose to a bottle of soda?
The usual suspects…
Let’s Compare a Vaccine Dose to a Bottle of Soda…
That kids get a vaccination that ‘looks like the size of a bottle of soda’ is the latest bit of misinformation that has come out of the Trump administration.
Not surprisingly, this one came from Donald Trump himself.
It’s not a surprise, because he had previously claimed that kids “get a VAT, I mean, like a big glass of, of stuff pumped into their bodies.”
Of course, kids get neither a bottle or soda nor a vat size amount of stuff pumped into their bodies.
In fact, the average vaccine is just 0.5ml!
“Well, I suppose if you add up 94 vaccines, it’s a lot of, it’s a big volume.”
Secretary RFK, Jr
And even if you add up all of the vaccines a child gets from the whole immunization schedule, it doesn’t add up to a big volume at all. It’s about 25 ml, which is less than two tablespoons of ‘stuff!’
That’s less than one ounce.
Much less than the 473 ml that’s in a bottle of soda.
And just one more reason why you shouldn’t listen to Donald Trump when he makes recommendations about vaccines.
