I had a thought along the same lines. I was thinking we should coin the term "immunition," and tell people it was a way to arm your immune system to defend itself. It's not even all that misleading.

Get the NRA (the New Resistance Augmentation) into supporting immunition imports!

I think it has more to do with an authority figure telling them to do something. I think we'd have to distract them like we do children getting a shot. Instead of a toy beer we could use a talking revolver?

I think we should stop with the toy beer. Next thing you know they'll move on to toy heroin.

Instead of a toy beer we could just give them a real beer.

Which is weird, because they love authority figures

They love authority figures telling other people what to do. Freedom is me being free to do what I want and you being free to do what I want.
