I vote for #6 vaxgene! I don’t “hack scene” will ring a bell! I am a Progressive Feminist Activist & a Veteran of the Civil Rights Move, the anti-Vietnam War Mov., the anti-Iraq Mov. Etc, etc. Almost everyone I know & have known for other 50 years in social change activism have gotten the jabs & have or will be getting the booster! They have no questions! They are completely convinced that this is the right course of action! These are all college educated, some with advanced degrees who have been questioning everything before! But not this! It is so scary! I have never seen anything like it! To question, brings immediate condemnation & anger! It is worse than you think! As a psychologist, perhaps you can think of ways to break this mass hysteria! I hope so!
I had thought "for certain" that your preferred choice was going to be VAX-GENE...but you've humbled me again (clearly, I am not always right). That said, I still do think that "vax-gene" is the best name for these vaccines.
When I consider the target audience, made up of frightened people who would cling to any lie as long as it made them feel safe, and who are on the lookout for people who might possibly take that lie away from them and therefore the security they feel in it: I feel that “pseudo-vaccine” is the best choice. These frightened people know a soundbite when they hear one, and soundbites are of course manipulative. To truly work toward bringing rationality into this environment, I think It would be good to be people who don’t resort to manipulation of any kind, and the choice of word should reflect this, in my opinion.
“Pseudo-vaccine” is a self-contained statement of fact, where it doesn’t take a prolonged argument to get to the bottom of its factuality. The question it brings to mind is “what is a vaccine anyway,” a very illuminating question with a straightforward answer. These “vaccines” are in fact pseudo-vaccines as per definitions of vaccine predating September 2021. Those are the definitions that we have lived with for a long time and they feel natural and normal to people. While I find merit in “toxxine” and “hackscene,” in that they say something truthful about these products without implying a lack of intelligence in the people who fell for them, they are further removed from something that reflects what people deeply know, which is what vaccines are supposed to do. People are determined to think the pseudo-vaccines are not toxic or hack into your genome (you don’t want to stimulate their conspiracy theory circuits, either) so I fear these would pick a fight that can’t be won in the current irrational environment.
I don't have a naming suggestion but if someone wants to play with the Baudelaire quote "The greatest trick the Devil ever did was convince the world he doesn't exist" and apply it to big pharma I think it would help messaging.
Another pro vaccine supporter believes that "booster" is a poor choice for the 3rd vaccine because it suggests that a booster is not a real vaccine. He writes: "We need to drop the term "booster." Full vaccination for Pfizer and Moderna is three doses. I'm not sure he is right. Booster suggests that yes, you are fully vaccinated--you just need a little extra boost. No big deal. But forcing people to accept that they are not fully vaccinated when they thought they WERE--that might be too much to accept. What do you think? Although the CDC did recently change the definition of pandemic and twice changed the definition of vaccine. I never accepted vaccine so it's hard for me to judge.
It seems that the pro vaccine supporters also appreciate the power of language and naming. In yesterday's Times, they were trying to come up with a different term for "breakthrough infections." The writer of the editorial letter complained that breakthrough suggested that there was something unexpected and a failure. He wanted a different term to suggest that reinfection was normal and expected and the vaccines were still working. Oh the power of names!
How about just “another drug”? It has proven to simply be yet another pharmacological cocktail of destruction. It doesn’t sterilize, it’s side effects are an endless laundry list, and it can even be fatal, or worse.
If there were an advertisement for it on television, it would play like any other erectile dysfunction/allergy/insomnia/depression medication with the caveats “effects diminish exponentially over time”, “may inhibit DNA repair (or simply “may cause cancer”)”, and of course “may cause death” (obviously many others but there really wouldn’t be enough time in the average tele advertisement to list everything).
The people who take it are drugged, those who don’t are not. It’s not an antagonistic label, rather factual, but it still has subtextual meaning. You also don’t need to be anti-drugs to be anti-_this_ drug.
How about “ Cocktail ?” Well known by all. Infers special ingredients perhaps mystery ingredients. One has it at a certain time of day, much like a booster appointment. Negative connotations that you might have a drinking problem, or in this case, a vax hysteria problem. A word used in early medicine; the Doctor prescribed a “cocktail” to ease their pain, anxiety( a nod to medical quackery of the past). Formally would be known as the “Covid Cocktail”? NWO Cocktail? Lots to play with and plenty of medical history with this word.
You said understandable to the masses so I would suggest pseudo vaccine. Most people I know would wonder at hackxine

My understanding is the CCP Jab is not a mRNA vaccine, is a traditional vaccine technology. As far as I know, mRNA vaccines are not allowed in China.
We know the CCP has bio-warfare experiments to Kill by Race that have so far failed.
If the mRNA vaccine gives the CCP a vulnerability to attack the mRNA vaxxed, are not the mRNA vaccines a national security threat?

I loved the first choice: VINO (not only "Vaccine in Name Only" but also "drunk with false information, not longer able to think clearly)

Thank you, Diane, for everything you are doing.
