I recently saw advertising for some kind of vaccine for pets being described as a “shot” in such a hamfisted way that it was obviously just trying to not say vaccine and trigger the antivax brainworms. Glad to see that doesn’t even work and people just think any kind of injection is scary now. I should start injecting hormones in public just to fuck with them

I wonder how they’d respond to the British word “jab”.

I feel like it’d just have a violent connotation here
