    I think that is true for some of the people involved, but I think it is much more complicated than that. There are many people who think vaccines do more harm than good because they believe conspiracy theories and junk science. Not everyone against vaccines is malicious. Some must be, though, for such bullshit to keep propagating the way that it does.

      What is quite scary is that it doesnt have to be vaccines, they could be convinced of anything given time and right approach.

      I disagree. People are always assholes first and then look for rationalisations for their assholery. All that conspiracy bullshit always leads back to racism and antisemitism.

        Please explain how the earth being flat, birds not being real, bigfoot, ufo’s, and the moonlanding being a hoax have ANYTHING to do with racism and antisemitism.
