You can thank anti vax religious groups.

It’s the hippies in my area that are the anti vaxxers.

its as if it has nothing to do with religion or being a hippie and all about being on extreme ends of the political spectrum.

My friends aren’t extremist. It’s just a fundamental distrust of our government, which given our current states, is justified, rationally or not.

You trust your government and who it’s working for?
Show thread1985MustangCobraOct 28
yeah why? are you actually going to argue vaccines right now?
Show threadpilferjinxOct 28
My argument isn’t about vaccines. It’s just anecdotal reasons behind the motivations of certain groups. I’m not anti-vax because I have a bit of understanding of the science behind it. But blindly trusting your government is also dangerous.

man so many people on here live existing lives being paranoid.
Show threadpilferjinxOct 28
It’s not just here, it’s everywhere. Conspiracy theories run rampant in all places. No one is able to trust anything when there’s so much mis/disinformation out there.

Show threadpilferjinxOct 28
That’s fair. Self care is important. I wish you well in your efforts.
