NO
An article published by online claimed that Johns Hopkins University confirmed that people can be vaccinated with a PCR test, even without their knowledge.
The claim is that the dust-sized "theragrippers" can be implanted in the tips of PCR test swabs and be delivered to the innocent "victim."
Johns Hopkins says that's not possible. Theragrippers are still experimental.
Theragrippers have been neither tested nor used for vaccine delivery, the university says.
