    And the comments on those couple of days make it clear that either this
    was *intended* as an anti-vax allegory, or that's just what the main
    reader base is inclined to view anything as these days.

    Nope, I don't see that interpretation. I see Dogbert fleecing the suckers.

    I can understand that interpretation, but I don't believe any of the
    vaccines kill 75% of those who get them.

    So, if it has that interpretation, it was pretty stupidly done.
