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

        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.
