LOL back when "vaccination" literally meant "Ya don't get the fuckin' disease yer vaccinated against, ya jackasses".
Merriam-Webster is PROVING that they are not a legit dictionary publisher.
Dictionaries are supposed to be like a DOCUMENTARY of how people actually use words. A reflection of reality in the general public, not of the editors' political biases.
Instead, MW is producing a WORK OF FICTION starring Them in the lead role, who get to INVENT crazy new definitions for common terms and then try to pass them off on unsuspecting nitwits as the actual definitions.

Among other words, they've done it with these:

Is it really prophecy when they use his writing as a guidebook/playbook?
Are they actually trying to replicate the book tho? Personally i think this plan was made far before he wrote the book
