Yeah I find it it weird when people refer to it as a “vaxx” as well. It’s a vaccine, not a gamertag! Though xXx_m3as1es_31iminat0r_xXx would be a nice gamertag.
I like to call it a “vaccine” or maybe a “shot”, and I am wondering if this is a regional thing.
Without intending to make a statement on the MAGA-status of the writer, I do feel that I’ve heard the term “jab” applied to vaccinations and needle insertion (blood draw, etc.) for far longer than Trump has been on the political scene. I’m fairly sure common use of the term in the U.S. goes back enough that this might not be a strong indicator of MAGA writing.
The entire article is 4 sentences, and you stopped reading in the middle of sentence 3? Were there other clues as to a maga bias about a Canadian outbreak of measles?
Quit reading after they referred to the measles vaccine as getting a jab, that’s magat language and I don’t listen to magats.
People have referred to it as a jab for a very long time
My mom referred to it as this, and I’ve always been up to date on vaccines.

I think that’s fairly common parlance in the UK for vaccines. Although this website is an American one, but just thought I’d throw that out there.
