The fix I've chosen is a vial spike that filters the fluid drawn into the syringe down to 5um.
As a bonus, it vents the vial, allowing air in so a vacuum isn't created as you draw the liquid which makes drawing more difficult and sucks contaminants into the vial if the stopper seal isn't perfect. It filters the air down to 1um so better than injecting air like I normally did.
Finally, since you connect the syringe to the vial before attaching the needle, drawing is very fast, and the needle isn't blunted, nor do you have to draw with a large gauge and switch to a smaller needle for injection as many do.
Because of the air valve, you push the syringe while it's still in the vial to eliminate bubbles. which reduces waste as well.
So even if it didn't protect your long term health, it's really a convenient upgrade.
