• Mickael Vendetta, a former reality TV member now known for his anti-vaccination positions, invited his Instagram subscribers to use a venom pump to suck up the Covid-19 vaccine that they would have been forcibly injected.

  • An idea, in addition to being silly, perfectly useless, as explained by a pharmaceutical laboratory responsible for the design of one of its

    pumps 

    .

We thought we had seen and heard everything about the pandemic.

When suddenly, Mickael Vendetta reappears from his closet and films himself promoting the use of a venom pump to aspirate the vaccine against Covid-19 in case you are injected against your will.

The former reality TV star, a DJ in his spare time and avid antivax, does it in a video shared from his Instagram account on Tuesday, June 27.

"Do you like to pump?

[…] Because if you are forcibly vaccinated, you take out the venom pump to release all the toxic product that is put in your muscle.

You have roughly between 5 to 10 minutes after the injection to remove what is worst, ”explains Mickael Vendetta, very seriously, before concluding with another more than doubtful play on words.

Funny advice, not only stupid, but also completely unnecessary.

We explain why.

FAKE OFF

First of all, it should be remembered that the vaccine against Covid-19 is not compulsory for everyone in France. Obtaining the health pass is not subject to vaccination either, since the presentation of a negative test (antigen or PCR) of less than 48 hours, or of a certificate of recovery of more than two weeks or of less than six months, allows the obtaining of sesame. The chances that you will be dragged by the cervix to a vaccination center to inject you with a vaccine against your will are therefore zero.

Now we come to the venom pumps: they are absolutely not made to suck a vaccine injected intramuscularly. This was confirmed to 

20 Minutes by 

a pharmaceutical laboratory responsible for marketing one of the main venom pumps available on the French market.

"No study has ever evaluated the ability of a venom pump to suck a vaccine inoculated into a patient," notes the laboratory. In addition, our products must be used within an extremely short time after a sting or bite (between one and three minutes) and do not guarantee the total withdrawal of the venom, which is why we always specify that the use of a venom pump should not replace the mandatory and immediate consultation of a doctor. It's really not for sucking up a vaccine, don't! "

You also suspect that a syringe, at least four or five times the size of a stinger, will inject you with the vaccine much deeper than a wasp or a scorpion would with its venom.

Aspirating the vaccine in less than three minutes could also be difficult, since a vaccination center must necessarily keep you under observation for at least fifteen minutes after the injection.

So many arguments that are added, we repeat, to the initial idea: wanting to aspirate the vaccine with a venom pump, that does not work, and it is above all totally silly.
