    The craziest part to me is the docs who believe the conspiracies. You spent all that time studying medicine and don’t believe it?

      My “favorite” moment like this was when I was doing IT for a surgery center and one of the surgeons walked by in a “this mask does nothing” mask.

      Like, how the fuck are you so pilled that your dumb ass ignores a critical part of the PPE you wear literally every day?

      Mental illness can have its pull.

      Conspiracy can slander a lot of things. It used to be easy to slander anti-opiate pushing doctors “conspiracy theorists”.

        Are you implying the anti-vax crowd relies on facts, data, and logic and not conspiracies?

          I’m implying that someone can question a “consensus” without being crazy, and can question evidence without being anti-vax. Look at Paul Offit on the more moderate end, or Vinay Prasad on the more extreme end.

            This post is about anti-vaccine rhetoric. Vaccines are safe, get over it

              Relatively safe. They can still cause harm. That’s why the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme is a thing, at least in the UK.

              What I said was two very pro-vaccine vaccine researchers who were called conspiracy theorists for saying there may be some costs to mandating vaccination.

              Any and every intervention has a cost, even if its just the cost of paying someone to administer and produce it.
