    From the perspective of a celebrated /pol/ poster, a vaccine can only ever be an evil thing intended to poison someone. So why else would you exhibit a vaccine needle if you don’t have evil intentions?

    This is a great example of how much the perspective of these folks is badly warped by the misinformation they consume as part of a regular diet.

      absolutely, but also a great example of why you should source check and not blindly believe anything these days, especially not on social media.

      I feel terrible about how the world has become on this subject, unfortunately the truth does not sell as good as the lies…

        One of the causalities of the loss of critical thinking includes the inability to do any kind of independent verification or fact checking. Indeed, in the run-up to the election, fact-checkers were decried as “biased” against the right. The logical extension of this philosophy has led to a distrust of any kind of fact-checking process.

          that’s horrible! I truly feel sorry for you and that someone have successfully managed to create that mindset.
