I would have maybe given it the benefit of the doubt that it was a good faith 1972 campaign to vaccinate kids against deadly diseases—except why does the syringe look evil?

The “moral” was the townspeople ought to have given the piper what he wanted and since they didn’t, they deserved what they got. We are the townspeople. We need a sequel where the townspeople rise up and kick the piper to the next galaxy.
