That's a retractable needle in the syringe.
I've used those myself. After the injection, the needle springs back into the syringe.
That way, it's encapsulated and can't stuck anyone.
Those are pretty common. Freaks you out first time you see it, but the needle is visible in the syringe afterwards.
Thanks for your input. Everyone:- retractable syringes are a thing, fuck it. The video is still very interesting as it is pure, distilled propaganada and these poxy "influencers" are growing long in the tooth. The nazi symbol on her forehead was a nice touch.
Retractable or not the needle in the video is far too large and long for a vaccine needle. That needle was for show. The needle used for the adult Covid vaccine is 22-25 gauge and 1" long. The needle in the video was at least a 19 gauge and every bit of 1¾" or 2" long.
I’ve used syringes with the retractable needle on myself hundreds of times. Retractable syringes are usually made by the manufacturer to administer prefilled medication doses - so you don’t have to draw it out of a vial. The reason it’s retractable is so that the person at home who is giving themselves the injection doesn’t have a sharps container and also to help reduce injury from attempting to recap a needle. So the mobile vaccine centers may use these syringes so they don’t have to worry about sharps containers. Also on those syringes with the safety retractable needle - YOU ONLY EVER EVER EVER push the plunger to retract it AFTER you have removed it from the patient. ?♀️. I have personally had to educate nurses who have done that to me - it’s very painful. I had one come back into my room and continue to argue with me about it until I pulled up the manufacturers instructions on my phone and showed her in big red letters where it said to not do that. It does explain the weird wrist movement at the end by the nurse in this video, because you have to push the plunger down really hard to release the spring to suck the needle up into the syringe. So at the very least the person giving her the shot is an idiot.
