trenchant social commentary 2

I guess going back to the original thing, my experience with antivaxxers is that their reasoning is a few steps removed from reality, and usually includes believing that their kids won't actually get those diseases for whatever reasons ("natural immunity," use of homeopathic immunity boosters etc). I guess it's possible that the grossly twisted thinking of an antivaxxer sometimes grows out of struggles with having a severely autistic child, even though it tends to take a life of its own from there.

I'm no expert but this doesn't read as very folky to me, if I imagine this set to music it's more like some kind of poor man's Instant Sunshine or something
