All Anti-Vaxxers Are Not the Same

From today’s Wordsmith:

Covid deniers tell me it’s all made up. A reader in France often emails me random YouTube videos and other conspiracy links suggesting that Covid is a hoax.

I finally asked him: Are you aware of any other instance in which all governments in all countries, doctors, scientists, journalists, nearly everyone (even people who run funeral homes) went along with a conspiracy? It was only left to some guys on YouTube and Fox News to tell the truth?

What do you know, this reader has an answer for everything. He asks me to find the FACTS (Important note: FACTS are more factual than mere facts or even Facts).

Good stuff!

This reminds me of an important fact: there are various flavors of anti-vaxxers.  True, many are the kind of crackpots described above, but some simply come from a line of extreme conservatives when it comes to healthcare.  This can be rooted in religious doctrines or the cultural norms of certain societies.
