Yeah, that struck me as odd, too. I thought people were calling it that to be disparaging, like it’s an attack against one’s body (which I believe it is).
“Jab” is the term that the DS decided to market after studies done. They found the word “vaccine” to be scary to some people, whereas “jab” was non-threatening. It’s the whole language game that they play.
Makes it sound more threatening if you ask me. It gives me the mental image of a quick punch or stabbing. I’m not taking it regardless of what they call it.
