The fact that the word “jabs” (instead of “shots”) is being used by multiple venues precipitously and simultaneously, means that the word has some psychological purpose in manipulating people.

My guess is that since the term, "shot" is usually a firearms-related reference, they can't have the term 'shot' being used for a positive purpose such as a vaccine.

I first noticed this subtle word play many years ago in reference to "shooting" photos. I was into photography as a hobby and taking classes. I noticed that some of the more 'granola' types (I wasn't really politically aware at the time) would say things like: "We don't 'shoot' photos. We 'take' photos." Or "We don't 'shoot' people we 'freeze' them in time.", which I found to be even stranger.
