    I used to think one of the biggest reasons there’s so many antivaxx people is that, because they’re so effective, people no longer have the fear of seeing their children in an iron lung, struggling to breathe. Then Covid respirators happened and antivaxx fucks somehow got worse

      My brother had to be convinced to get the vaccine.

      He’s legitimately removed (I’m trying to say “re-tar-ded”, but apparently it automatically saying “removed.” Seriously? We’re not allowed to say “re-tar-ded”, a completely accurate medical term?) and had to go to a special school because of it.

      I think a lot of conservatives fall into this camp, but don’t realize it because of how poor social programs are in red states.

      It’s also why Trump is president-elect currently. People are stupid and are forgetting just how bad things can be.
