Are antivaxxers all just contrarians and conspiracy theorists?

Vaxxers are terrified they made a mistake. Understandable. Nobody’s getting the cdc recommended boosters so pretty much everybody is now skeptical. Vaxxers would rather die than mentally deal with the consequences of being wrong. Traditional vaccines are accepted. This mRNA oversold vaccine is highly controversial and mistrusted.

LOL. No they aren't. You really do live in some kind of fantasy world, huh? Fascinating.

The same could be said for those who refuse to even discuss potential vaccine side effects and efficacy issues. Talk about thinking in binary, all or nothing terms.

Right, there was no nuance on either side. The CDC is still pushing vaccines and boosters for toddlers and other young kids, which is dumb.

This is why they lost trust. Cracking down on airports without noticing unvaccinated hordes flooding over the border during a so-called “pandemic”. Smart people pick up on this nonsense very quickly and rightfully question /doubt the narrative .

Yeah, and the dumb lockdown rules, such as closing playgrounds, made government officials seem irrational and panicky.

Public health officials refused to admit the truth- that covid was essentially a disease of the elderly and already sick. Instead, they pretended like a healthy teenager needed the be vaccinated just as much as a bed-ridden 75 year-old.

I’m sure some anti-vaxxers are just contrarians and conspiracy theorists. But scarier than that, I think social media has essentially brainwashed relatively normal people (about vaccines, but also about plenty of other things). They watch one video, which leads to another, and another, and another, and then they’re starting to think they “know” something about the dangers of vaccines.

My sister, an educated liberal who did get the vaccine, has started sending me videos basically saying some herb is as good at preventing Covid as the vaccine. It’s idiotic, but she feels like she has “learned” from some of the videos—because they have a grain of truth that’s been distorted, for example.

Social media companies are truly messed up and have allowed this kind of nonsense not only to multiply but to brainwash relatively normal well meaning folks. Gen Z in particular has taken the brunt.

Covid vaxxer loyalists have also been brainwashed into a panic. They have 5+ shots and counting, plus covid illness st least once, oftentimes, within weeks of being boostered. They then freak out on family and friends who have had at least one and up to 3 or 4 covid shots AND covid illness at leadt once who say they are not getting further shots. If you are vaccinated up the wazoo against covid, just relax and enjoy your "much milder" covid illness and let others decide for themselves how to proceed.

I’m the PP. I actually agree that fanatically pro-vax people have also been brainwashed into a panic. It’s not good no matter how you look at it. Thanks, tech companies.

Remember when people were refusing to invite non-vaccinated family members to their homes? Yeah, that was a pretty crazy time.

But no notice or problem with hordes of unvaccinated flooding the border and using the overburdened hospitals.

The nonconformists are looking like the most critical thinkers.

If that happened, I guess Trump shouldn’t be president again. He sucked so bad at his job.

Yes, it's "dumb" because you say so. Great argument.

It's probably an easy excuse to avoid the crazy people in their family.
