  I don’t like calling them “skeptics,” because what they really are is super-gullible with regards to conspiracy theories.

    “Science deniers” is a better description.

      Step 1. Ask what someone thinks about vaccinations Step 2. Ask them what they think about evolution Step 3. Ask about climate change Step 4. Ask about what church they go to

      You will learn so much of this overlaps. So much.

        Flat earth. Crystals. Cupping.

        Anything to avoid the reality that we’re fucking up society and the planet in favour of ‘we can fix it with woo’ or ‘it’s preordained that we’re all gonna die in god’s wrath-fire’. Neither will lift a finger to fix things.

        Nobody wants to live in reality because it’s scary.

    There was real reason to be skeptical at first. mRNA vaccines have been in the works for decades and they had just gotten some that work well, then rushed it through. Drug companies aren’t known for being conservative with claims when there’s money to be made.

    “I don’t know… those first fifty studies of vaccine safety didn’t sway me. Maybe 51 will”

    I’ve always preferred it phrased as “You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into,” but same energy.

      I always preferred the Mark Twain quote, “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Because I’ve been beaten bloody with that experience on more than one occasion.

        Or: “It’s like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are it’ll knock over your pieces and shit on the board”
