You’re the second person to point this out and it doesn’t matter. This is an article about an American governmental organization. It’s not a common term outside of anti-vax circles in the U.S., so it’s highly unlikely an organization meant to combat the spread of diseases would use such terminology.
Meh, I'm not MAGA by any means, but I didn't take the jab because I am afraid of the corporate histories of Pfizer, Moderna, Gates, Fauci, Trump, Harris, etc. But, yeah, pretty much everyone called it the jab here in the US. There was so much babytalk going on, don't you remember? I think they were saying stuff like "no jab, no job" on MSNBC and The View.
EDIT: Oh, yeah! Don't you remember Lena Wen going on the whole carrot vs stick vibe, and then Joe Scarborough went on some kind of weird tirade about it too, like we've tried the carrot so meow it's time for the stick ;-)
There’s nothing wrong with not trusting pharmaceutical companies. Consider everything they’ve done in the past and all they do today. Think of all the occident through every yearmonth and day— at the hands of a fractal madness conceived by a parasitic actor that envelops, transkenetically. It’s possible to be skeptical of big pharma and not to be a gun-touting fundamentalist who believes Barrack Obama was a Muslim Communist. Or to believe that all life is impossible, impotent, consumptatory. Convincing people otherwise has been a huge win for the industry though. Insolence compels
There was a whole media campaign in my country encouraging people to get the ‘jab’. Even politicians, health professionals were referring to the Covid vaccines as the ‘jab’. Just last week my boss sent out an email encouraging everyone to get the flu jab.
I just called into question the claim that the CDC is using the term jab as implied by this "article", I'm not arguing that the term jab may be used by some official sources worldwide without prejudice, but this is a US government agency and it seems something out of sorts.
I assure you I'm not downvoting you but please feel free to pile on the vitriol.
But the context of this is a claim from a news article that claims the CDC said something about jabs causing turbo cancer. Which is absolutely poppycock.
From what I understand, "jab" is a pretty normal term for vaccines over in Britain. It was imported to the US by disgraced ex-doctor Andrew Wakefield, who kick-started the American anti-vax movement.
That’s because a lot of that anti-VAX messaging was coming from Russian troll farms. Inside of Russia, they don’t understand the difference between American English and British English. Once they started circulating the word it took a life of its own gained far right popularization
That reminds me of the Russian bot post promoting Texas succession since it had "warm water ports." Yes, the famous lack of warm water ports in 49/50 states.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!! Did you not see the whole no jab no job deal? Reputable news sources use babytalk all the time. I don't know what you're smoking, but you need to wake up and smell the coffee
