An injection is forced under the skin with high air pressure. No needle is required because the air pressure shoots the vaccine deep into the skin. Medical professionals have used jet injectors for many years, but MIT researchers have created a device that is similar to the idea of hypospray. This instrument distributes a small, high-pressure stream of medicine through the skin without using a hypodermic needle. Similar jet-injection systems which are now available have limited range delivering

In Changing Minds or Changing Channels, the authors Kevin Arceneaux and Martin Johnson state that we live in an area where it is easy for people to tune in to a television channel or any other source where we can be inform of current or past events which best fits our ideological predispositions.

They cannot change it in any way and it is up to the writers to decide what happens and when. Hypodermic Needle Model The Hypodermic Needle Theory is one of the oldest in the field of media studies.
