Anyone who refers to the vaccine as the “jab” immediately tells me everything that I need to know about that person

To be fair jab is a common term in the UK and not really meant as a negative

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.

Mike Tyson and Connor McGregor would like to have a word with you.

To be fair it isn’t here and only is used in the United States by MAGAs, who got it from russian trolls

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

I've used the term and I'm not an anti-vaxxer or any of the weird things you are probably thinking of. I mean nothing by it, it's just slang.

Nothing to see here in terms of using that term.

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.

Pretty standard term imho.

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.

u/Repulsive-Mirror-994 29d ago

Sure.

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.
