PBS Sid the Science Kid, Super Duper Antibodies Game
The PBS Kids website features a game titled "Super Duper Antibodies" on the "Sid the Science Kid" page. The game depicts the character Sid being injected with a large hypodermic needle to fight "evil virus thingies." The hosts characterize this as early-childhood propaganda designed to normalize medical injections and heroin-like imagery for young children.
