This is the Covid vaccine and cancer treatment industry in a nutshell.
Surely seems so.
We've avoided the whole thing, and remain unjabbed, as the jabbers now are recommending a sixth booster (eight injections in all, if the CDC/FDA marketing had been followed).
Once the lingo of "uptake" was used in the media, the stink of marketing and messaging aimed at a target market becomes overwhelming for us.
As with the "walkaway" movement politically, and the "cut the cable" movement with cable news and all, and with the "simplify" by not buying packaged foods, I imagine a sensible stance going forward is to walk away from much in the world awash in marketing, messaging, nudging and all.
