Subtitled “On the vaccination debate.” Three quacks: “Listen, boy, there’s no other way! You have to get inoculated either against the black or the blue or the red pox.” It would be an interesting comparative exercise to study when vaccination is sufficiently widespread that it can be appropriated as a readily understood political metaphor (black conservative, blue centrist, and red social democratic, respectively).
