"I Don't Want Your Stupid Vaccine and You Can't Make Me"

Blazing Reader:
In response to my previous post about Dr. Kroner's forthcoming children's book, I’m Unvaccinated and That’s OK!, a subscriber named Karl wrote:
"1st of all, nobody can become unvaccinated. Just like nobody can become uncircumcized. You either have been poisoned or mutilated or you've been left normal. You can't reverse either injury."
I'm a wordsmith, so I love this type of thinking. But, I'm not sure I agree with Karl. By adding "un" to a word, we are not necessarily saying it was reversed or undone. For example, "unconscious" according to Webster, simply means "not knowing or perceiving."
Karl goes on to say:
"The book should rightly be called 'I'm completely original and that's way better than being poisoned or mutilated.'"
This is similar to the "pure blood" label many people are using. But are we completely original, pure and free of poisons? Seems like a far-fetched claim to make even if you grew up on an organic farm fasting on distilled water for 40 days and nights every month.
"We have to stop using 'their' terms as it keeps their psyop going."
I do agree, I don't think "unvaccinated" is helpful. It suggests we are lacking something important. I've no interest in labelling myself based on whether or not I rolled up my sleeve for some injection.
Maybe a better title for the book would have been, I Don't Want Your Stupid Vaccine and You Can't Make Me. Or how about, I Didn't Get the Shot, Now Please Go Get a Life. Anybody else have any other suggestions? You can email them to me at john@blazingpinecone.com (I'll post my favourites in a future post).
Stay sane & read good books,

PS The sequel to Much Ado About Corona (which I'm working on right now) features a Canada where those who have refused the COVID shot are forced to wear red arm bands (with a white circle containing the black silhoutte of a coronavirus). So, yes, book two is going to get a fair more dystopian. If you haven't read book one yet, what are you waiting for?
