Smith: I have concerns over COVID vaccinations' safe administration
The registered nurse that comes to treat me at home confirmed that an intramuscular injection requires that after the “jab” [the needle is in the muscle under the skin] that the plunger be gently pulled back and checked for blood to ensure the needle tip is not into a blood vessel. This is how students are taught to give intramuscular injections.
There are many news reports and film clips of patients being vaxxed. It is my understanding that the COVID vaccine should be given intramuscularly. In the news reports and film clips I don’t see this precaution being used and haven’t for weeks.

All I see is jab and inject. Some of these injections must also going into blood vessels just by chance.
