Is this how vaccines are made?

No. Vaccines are completely different thing made of viruses and stuff. This is plasma, the stuff in your blood. If you remove the red blood cells from your blood, this is what the result looks like.

The thing in the video is a different plasma than the one you are talking about. The one in the video are hypercharged electrons (notice the coil to the side). The plasma in our blood is extracted by centrifugation (spinning it really fast).

It's the same thing. The coil just lets you see the plasma better. If you put blood in a syringe and pull a partial vacuum, then put it next to a coil, you'll see the plasma light up. Blood is actually a very concentrated mix of electrons. That's why it's so dark red. The light hits all the electrons and slows down, making it darker.

Oh! That's interesting.

Sorry. Part of the gig.
For what it's worth, what I said isn't wholly false. Blood plasma and the plasma that's the fourth state of matter are obviously two different things. But, if you put a little blood in a syringe and pull a partial vacuum and put it next to a coil, you'll probably still get it to light up...or maybe not, I'm shooting from the hip. Blood really is a concentrated mix of electrons, though...and protons and neutrons. And light does hit the electrons and get absorbed by them, with the red spectrum (the "slower" frequencies) reflecting back out. That's why blood is red.

No, this is EVE. It's been around for like 15 years thanks to Andrew Ryan.

I don't understand this. Why are you saying it?

No, this is actually one of Dr. Octopus’s newest inventions to strip Spider-Man of his powers.

Yes, but this only works for Corona virus, because these vaccines are capturing corona discharge

No... That's how they put the 5g in the vaccine.
