Maybe we're going about this the wrong way. We know what kind of country we live in, a nation of proud, almost patriotic willful ignorance. By design. An laborer ignorant to who is fucking them is a dependable laborer, after all.
So in the spirit of playing to the audience we have, have we tried rebranding the "vaccines" as, and I'm just spitballing here, Freedom Blessings, Robert E Lee Juice, The Joe Rogan Vein Experience, or the Prove You Hate Commies Test?
I had a thought along the same lines. I was thinking we should coin the term "immunition," and tell people it was a way to arm your immune system to defend itself. It's not even all that misleading.
I think it has more to do with an authority figure telling them to do something. I think we'd have to distract them like we do children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer we could use a talking revolver?
Instead of a toy beer we could just give them a real beer.
I think we should stop with the toy beer. Next thing you know they'll move on to toy heroin.
Which is weird, because they love authority figures
They love authority figures telling other people what to do. Freedom is me being free to do what I want and you being free to do what I want.
Get the NRA (the New Resistance Augmentation) into supporting immunition imports!
I can find no fault in this whatsoever. Nothing else seems to get through to them, not even death.
How about we rearrange a little and try Joe Rogan Juice? Joe Juice for short. It makes your immune system swole.
Vaccines protect the workforce and allow individuals to produce more. People being against vaccines cannot be good for capitalism, can it?
It's more important to the owners to keep us largely uneducated and ignorant for their own continued dominance than it is to maximize our longevity. Also they would have to pay honet to God taxes to fund public education, something they've spent decades installing loopholes to get out of, despite profiting directly from a pre-literate workforce Pool.
Just look at our for profit deathcare system, you would think, as they demand Healthcare largely be tied to employment to keep their employees desperately loyal, that it would be in their best interests to approve claims and keep their labor force healthy enough to labor, but it's a numbers game and there's just too much profit to be had, just as with their tax loopholes, in letting laborers die when they get sick or injured rather than approve their claims and letting them eventually recover. That's a lot of lost profit when they can just replace them with someone ready to work tomorrow.
Congrats, even this you managed to turn into a class struggle.
Every struggle is either created by or exacerbated by class struggle.
Many cannot be addressed at all without first addressing class inequity.
Antivaxxers were largely made ignorant by for profit media.
I think you meant to reply to the parent comment?
Everything is a class struggle for us poor folk.
