    These people have co-opted the work “skeptic”.

    I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god’s role in my life, now I’m agnostic.

    My parents became “skeptical” of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer “skeptical” but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.

    I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find “proof” of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.

    They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).

    The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their “independent” researchers (crunchy influencers).

    🤮

      Don’t worry, Republicans have been hard at work destroying our public education system so that people in the future won’t be burdened with seeing and understanding their parents’ hypocrisy for what it is.
