Its not just about terms that serve to denigrate, and stifle discourse, but also, terms misappropriated by industry and captured regulators to ramrod products through by skirting procedural protocols under the guise of emergencies.
Terms we need to take back-
Vaccine: If the injectable product contains an attenuated virus that confers immunity and stops transmission to said virus, it's a vaccine.
Treatment: If the injectable product does not confer immunity, nor stops transmission, but merely reduces the severity of a disease, it is a treatment.
Thus, being sketical of an emergency use only product has nothing to do with being pro or anti vaccine. Furthermore, if we are to properly address the corruption, malfeasance, fraud, coercion, and force, we have to address the subject matter based on ethics, what the consequences are by allowing emergencies to be the fulcrum to set precedents for profiteering and racketeering, as well as draw good analogies for the critical thinking impaired that can help drive home why it is in their best interest to guard against the tyranny of psychopathic corporate enterprises.
Yes! It is unbelievable that mandates of these products continue.. and the misleading labels they have been given are obfuscating how very clearly wrong and useless and dangerous this policy is. Thank you for your comment. It gives me comfort to connect with other logical, thinking people :)

Indeed, many of the powers that be are "dark empaths", who embody some or most likely all of the Dark Triad traits of Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy, while also retaining the ability to feel (very selective) empathy and weaponize it all the same. They are extremely dangerous, even more dangerous than pure psychopaths or sociopaths.
This is fantastic! Thank you for articulating this so well! I think many people feel this way or have suspicions. Where we likely struggle to effectively alert others, possibly ourselves sometimes like in the mask example you gave, we can all do something to at least reject the misuse and manipulation of language.

This is really 80% psychological warfare. They use empathy t get us to care more about intentions than results. It is wild that we ignore results.
