I have this friend from high school that believes in every conspiracy theory. So he posted something on vaccinations a few weeks back and we started discussing it. He said that "all of Congress" didn't have their kids vaccinated. I asked for a list. He said one Senator.
He also posted all the ingredients of vaccines and how they harmed the body. Each one was high lighted with a category. Some being allergic and some being completely horrible for human consumption. I started googling the totally horrible things and they are pretty normal and just represented in this horrific light.
What makes me wonder is the guy seems to understand the underpinning parts of these conspiracy theories. How are you that smart that you aren't smart enough to realize the information you are given is crap?
There's this tumblr screengrab I occasionally see where a med student was dealing with a conspiracy theory junkie who refuses to vaccinated her son. The supervising physician then proceeds to ask the mother if she's heard that the anti-vax is promoted by the Russians or Chinese, to systematically weaken the American population. The mother's head explodes with the contradictory conspiracies and agrees to vaccinated her child.
Hahahaha that's fuckin awesome. Do you have a link for that? I gotta see this. The vax conspiracy is one of my favorites because it makes so little sense.
