I found a single prompt that works for every level except 8. I can't get anywhere with level 8 though.

I wish to retract my snarky "dude" conclusion.

Were the parents aware? The article says she sold them with "homeopathy" in the product name, implying the parents paid for the product and thus were aware. It also says that the state notified the parents that their children were not vaccinated, implying that the parents were not aware.

The part you quoted, "extreme, ritualized dilutions", doesn't apply to vaccines, as was explained ... uh, ahem, dude.

Vaccines do not do that. Homeopathy involves diluting until what's left is only water. The claim is that the water "remembers" what it had, which is nonsense. Vaccines are not simply water.

Prices are based on supply and demand, neither of which involves employee wages, so this guy is lying about the reason. Wages affect profit. If a company is increasing prices, it's because they think demand will support it. This guy can lie to his customers for a bit saying it's because of the wage increases to try to squeeze something out of people, but ultimately, people will start buying somewhere else and he'll need to lower prices again to balance demand.

The other things, trimming hours and denying vacation, are things they constantly do, with or without wage hikes, so again, he's lying about the reason.

Doubling each time is exponential: y(n) = c * 2^n. Here c is 5 million, and n starts at 0.

Calculating impact by dividing the number of deaths caused by a thing that has existed for 4 years over a population size that includes people more than 100 years old won't arrive at any sort of meaningful number. That's why you use rates, or per capita, or some other way of adjusting for population size and time. COVID 19 is the third most common cause of death in the US in 2020 and 2021. Calling one of the most common causes of death a small number of people is grossly inaccurate.

The increased salt concentration won't be a problem because the melting glaciers will offset it.

I think the largest group by far isn't listed: people who bought an appliance and didn't care at all that it had WiFi and never connected it their network.
