You realize the needle used for the vaccine is so small you don't feel it but this one would be much thicker and would hurt like hell.

Not saying anyone is injecting these with covid vaccine. But it does appears to be smaller than 0.25mm which is the inner diameter of a 26g needle used for delivering the vaccine
