Up hill conversation to get people who are against vaccines to trust a predatory for profit medical industry that has given us all reason to distrust. I’m someone that relies on herd immunity, so please get you and your kids vaccinated, but I understand where people are coming from even though they’ve come to trust baseless theories that are based on intentional ignorance.
Forgive me, I didn’t mean to leave anyone with the impression that there was any attempt at logic from antivaxxers.
My point is that the industry that rakes in riches on the suffering of the sick has left ample reasons for people to distrust it and not believe anything that it says.
I’ve got a family member who is not getting their daughter the HPV vaccine because of “the lies”. That same family member? She barely survived a cervical cancer that was likely there because she was HPV positive. No logic there at all.
The problem comes from the fact most people cannot differentiate between the science side of and the industry side of pharmaceuticals. Same thing with college. The people who think “college is a scam” do not differentiate between the academics and the administrative aspects.
It all boils down to people not understanding the problem isn’t the thing itself; it is the system that dictates the distribution of it and allows people of ill intent to exploit their control over its distribution for profit.

The thing is that logic only make sense if they were against it all. People happily slopped down Ivermectin as a vaccine replacement

Oh no I totally understand your point and no need to apologize. I just also wanted to add my two cents.
Me: this interacting with an Internet stranger is going well. Me: notices RampageDon is on a .ca server Me: Ah, I bet that’s it.
Haha I’m actually from the US. Was on .ee and have been trying out different spaces since that one is closing down.

Their logic is backwards. They see “Bad People™ tell me that I need Thing© so they can exploit me for money, so Thing© must have been created by Bad People™ to exploit me, thus the thing must be a Bad Thing©” instead of seeing it as “this beneficial thing is being controlled by bad people who are exploiting people’s desire for its benefits for proft.”
