I feel like the title of this article comes across as Anti-vax but it is genuinely interesting. Amongst all the FUD a group of scientists say down figured out the problem. I love science. Awesome stuff.

That's because people have been trained that anything even slightly contrary to the 'agenda' (regardless of how positive or nefarious you find it to be) is inherently "antivax".

It's been successfully framed with the same culture-war argumentative trappings as "white supremacy" to the point you can't have a conversation about it, in most spheres. There's people who parrot the official talking points and then there's everyone else. Even a robust, scientific position that may have some questions in the details gets painted with the same broad brushes as an Alex Jones types who think the vax is microchipping everyone.

Regarding the title - it's taken from a BBC article. The BBC being from the UK where it's commonplace to refer to vaccines as "jabs". See:

It is anti-vax, regardless of the content, given the vocabulary used in the headline. "jab" is how the anti-vax community disparagingly refers to vaccines.

No, “jab” is en_GB equivalent of “shot” in en_US. It does sound silly, but not as silly as citing its usage as evidence that the BBC is pushing an anti-vax agenda.

TIL, thanks!

Perhaps true in the north american colonies but in proper english it is a perfectly fine term referring to an injection.

You can't handle the truth that you have to flag Pfizer's own internal adverse reaction data that wasn't supposed to be released for 50 years?

There are some hardcore commies on this website:
