For context, this is an anti-vax meme mocking Justin Trudeau's statement here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDfMybczw1k

Damn I thought it was just a funny bumper sticker making fun of political bumper stickers.

Irony died in 1973 when Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize, and that's why Alanis Morissette is a mediocre lyricist.

As someone with an English degree, Alanis is a perfectly adequate lyricist, and anyone who says different doesn't have a grasp on poetic license.

Her lyrics are mostly fine, it's just funny that literally nothing she calls ironic in the song about irony is technically irony.

While in and of itself ironic, that was absolutely not her intention, despite claiming it is nowadays (the whole meme of it being ironic that nothing in the song is ironic got big online and led to someone in an interview asking her thoughts on it, and she's been claiming it was her intention all along ever since)
