Plastic bags full of gel. Plastic threads under the skin. injected neurotoxins. Tell me what’s not going to bite our ass later.
I remember an episode of The Operation where the surgeon had his hands underneath the face of a patient getting a facelift. Yikes!
Girls, us guys aren’t really worth it.

Actually, botox is a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria that causes botulism. In minute doses, it can be used therapeutically. In larger doses, it is lethal (through ingestion of spoiled foods, for example).

Definitely not a vaccine.

I knew one of the inventors of Botox, a doctor. He invented it to cure a nerve disease that hits the face and he did not patent it.

***** Actually Botox is the vaccine for botulism - a deadly disease that is contracted through spores in the environment in the soil. (People are not generally at risk unless they go out and graze like cows or horses.) The Botox vaccine is used in large animals.

Besides it’s neurotoxic. A recession might help some people realize what’s important in life. Unfortunately the innocent have to suffer too.
