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!
