Title text: The vaccine stuff seems pretty simple. But if you take a closer look at the data, it’s still simple, but bigger. And slightly blurry. Might need reading glasses.

Cueball: I try to meet people where they are, but I have such a hard time with anti-vaxxers.
[Zoom out; a tree to the right is visible]
Cueball: The pandemic brought with it so much confusing stuff.
Cueball: Ambiguous data, weird tradeoffs, disagreements, dilemmas, and uncertainty.
[Zoom in on Cueball]
Cueball: It just feels like a miracle that the best and most effective intervention to reduce suffering also turned out to be one of the easiest and simplest.
Cueball: That never happens!

Cueball: I hate that people are working so hard to make it complicated when it’s one of the few things in this world that isn’t.
I have no expectation behind wolf’s actual mental impairment the same way the N word would expect it, since it exclusively only targets black people. So no, I shouldn’t use it, but using it doesn’t justify any other slur the way you imply, either lighter or worse.
And with that said, I’ll use it anyways. Because, fuck it, I despise people like that, double down time. Someone should take anyone who makes antivaxxer media or argues antivaxxer rethoric and institutionalize them IN THE MORGUE.
The problem is not about the person you intend to insult “earning it” or not, the problem is that by your choice of insult, you’re implying that you also despise other mentally impaired people, no matter if they’ve done anything wrong.
You’ve clearly never experienced a special needs person get physically attacked by a gang while calling them that word. I sure did in high school. I never used that word again. After that I could see it’s just another N-word.
