Not necessarily stupid, deluded definitely.
Some want to be part of a special tribe.
Not sure you can call someone an idiot non problematically.

I meant the act of belming as being problematic,
because it's disablist.
They were waving flags with saying how great Andrew Wakefield is, and WWG1WGA t-shirts. I'm quite confident that fucking idiot is accurate, but didn't know how to express that both facially and childishly.
If one had told me that covid is a hoax, I could have just done a Jimmy Hill and that would have been fine.

Okay, I understand you're lacking an acceptable, but satisfying non verbal response.
I'm saying, it is none of your concern that they hold that (deluded, misinformed) belief, unless you actually believe that somehow you can reform them with belms.
They in turn might harbour the idea that they might convert you to their belief system, equally unlikely.
IF they feel a tribal sense of belonging it makes it even more satisfying to maintain the fiction and harder for an outsider to assert facts.
TL:DR Wasting your time getting annoyed.

You can't reason somebody out of a belief they didn't reason themselves into.

Precisely, the energy behind these movements isn't rational, it's fear.

I think a lot of it's fear of needles.If they put it into like how they turn the frogs gay. I'd be fine with it.

That explains it.
Try not to post when wasted.

I think most of it is, "we don't know the potential long-term effects" of the vax.
My counter argument to that is... you'd try a new flavour of crisps, and we don't know the potential long-term effects of that.
I don't think most of it is fear of needles. It's quite rare for people to fear that enough to avoid obviously-save-your-life jabs. Speaking from personal experience.
