The Moochers......
a: Vaccination ~
b: other aspects of living in a society
What: "There is a moral dimension to vaccine rejectionism that deserves attention. Vaccination is like many other aspects of living in a society: it has benefits and risks. Free-riders are people who elect to take the benefits, but refuse to accept the risks."

a: Vaccination ~
b: a hypothetical alarm
What: "Vaccination is like a hypothetical alarm to the antibodies inside the body which tends to act just like the disease it is intended to prevent so as to make the body accustomed to the viruses/bacteria that would attack the body in case of the disease and hence prepare the body to be ready to fight against such viruses in future by creating certain strong antibodies against the same."

b: drivers ed
What: "Unvaccinated people are like drivers who are never, ever given instruction on how to drive then made to drive from California to New York. It can be done, but it's risky. Vaccination is like getting taught how to drive, then practicing driving for a while, then driving across the continent."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
