The meme which a close family member keeps pushing and never ceases reminding me is that its a “Novel” coronavirus. The “novel” prefix somehow makes it more deadly. I thought ALL new ‘flu strains were “novel”? And does that fact that it’s novel give it some sort of enhanced superpowers? The only novel connotations I can see is that the who COVID hoax is the sort of fiction you’d come across in a good novel.

Spikeshot is good. And the term spiked is particularly powerful here. A spiked drink is one that has had alcohol added without awareness or permission, so we bring in this idea of a violation of consent as we remind people that the spike protein is being introduced. Nice work! Thank you.
