forced inoculation

The forcing of a person to get a vaccination regardless of their beliefs or medical history.

Look at what this world has become in the wake of the covid 19 pandemic. People who haven't been vaccinated are being treated like outcasts even though the vaccinated are still getting and giving covid to others. Some countries are using forced inoculation and if they don't get the jab their life will be miserable. WHY IS NOONE RECOGNIZING NATURAL IMMUNITY?

religious inoculation

If religiosity is considered to be infectious, as it spreads uncontrollably through the human population like a virus....then religious inoculation would be controlled exposure to religious influences so as to build immunity to it

Sam's annual visits to his family church is his way of religious inoculation ...
