Ethan Campbell81 said:The issue here isn't about anti-vaxxers; it’s about shoving every single person who disagrees with you into one big bucket, which is just lazy generalization and a total black-and-white way of looking at things (kind of like those drunk losers hanging around the ExxonMobil stations).
So, if I don't happen to share your exact opinion, am I automatically considered so dim-witted that I'm just regurgitating nonsense from crackpot websites and anti-vax portals?
Look, I feel the same way you do about those actual anti-vaxxers with their messianic complexes, but do you honestly think I'm out here buying books by New Age gurus or donating money to sites promising to grow your anatomy by ten centimeters?
You have this black-and-white worldview, which is really just a hallmark of a limited mind, but I can't change that anyway—nor do I want to—so, go ahead, keep riding that wave of ignorance...
Regarding the current global situation, when I talk about hardcore anti-vaxxers, I'm not just grouping in people who have some common-sense concerns regarding certain aspects of the WHO vaccines. Link.
I don't spend all my time lurking on this COVID-19 Task Force forum, but I've noticed that quite a few proponents of staying unvaccinated are either extreme or act like relentless crusaders, and they seriously undermine the credibility of people who actually have legitimate fears and questions. It's not my fault if I tell you that you're acting like a hardcore anti-vaxxer, but it's the people like that who make you look bad.
Like I said, I was following the anti-vax movement long before this pandemic hit, and I can say with absolute certainty that these people are nothing but nuisances who are dangerous to everyone around them because of how they spread panic and misinformation. Some people—if you can even call them that—don't realize that someone is actually reading their idiocy and that this kind of stuff kills people. Others, though, are fully aware...
