Where have all the anti-vaxxers gone?

[Johnno260]

Part of the problem is we have became politically correct and call them ill informed. We actually attempt to rationalise with science when they don't believe in it. In the past we ignored them completely. They were already there in ancient times with the likes of Shamans and druids.

By engaging them in person or via social media, we give them a platform, we give them oxygen and eventually a standing in society.

Don't circulate anything from them for a start. That will help to reduce their profile and presence.

Issue being by engaging with them for example via social media you may stop someone on the fence falling down the rabbit hole.

I had a relative who believed the whole conspiracy about the vaccine being 99.9% Graphene, using maths and some materials science PhD information I made them at least agree that claim was false. If a public admission is seen it could help?

Edit: they are still totally cuckoo but they did at least agree on that one claim.

My jabs we’re placebos apparently.

So we're (sic) your apostrophes (or autocorrect).

Is Cloud Cuckoo Land the one ruled by the lizard people or the aliens who want to eat humans on sticks? I always get those two muddled.

I rode into Wisbech today and saw no antivaxx shoot but I was in a tourist venue and I suspect they're making an effort to clean that shoot off on sight before it scares away paying customers like the Londoners at the next table! Other people's freedom to speak conspiracy theories comes a poor second to £££ in these difficult times.

There’s no vaccine against Wisbech....

I know there's talk of food supply problems, but I feel eating anti vaxxers is going a bit too far.

Quite. You might catch a nasty disease

Sooner or later someone is going to be hurt by these deranged people.

Well plenty in the hospitals who listened to this narrative.

These rallies seem to attract a certain type of person and it’s more than likely a ticking bomb until they hurt someone.

Conversely in my experience I find that by engaging someone who is on the fence all that ends up happening is that they go down the rabbit hole more quickly. Maybe that's just because it's me doing the talking, though.

I thought that I had missed out on this as I am not on Facebook. I have only seen a few lamppost stickers around town.
We have recently had a leaflet through the door with list of websites where one can learn the 'truth'. There is also an invitation to a meet up. I won't be able to make this as I was planning on more time with my bike at the weekend.
