I don’t know, sometimes the though of “what if all my leftist ideas are false? What if trans people are just mentally ill? What if gay people are just deviants?”
I honestly really don’t like it…

It’s good to question your beliefs I guess, it’s how you grow, but it sometimes makes me really uncomfortable. Why does this happen? Can I stop it? Should I?

      To me the anti-vax thing is the worst “flat earther “ theory.

      • if you do the math, you see vaccinations are an overwhelming benefit, second only to public health efforts as the most benefit to health at the least cost and danger
      • if you have a basic understanding of contagion, it’s clear that avoiding vaccinations is antisocial, anti society. Personally I think should be criminalized. Where else are we allowing personal choices where someone gets injured or killed and the perpetrator faces no consequences.
      • we all know how ridiculous the autism claim is. Even if you fell for it at the time, it’s been shown ridiculous for half a century now. Why would you cling to this?
      • conspiracy theory? Really? Consider how many people would need to be involved in that conspiracy. Ask yourself: for what purpose?

      I suppose I’d buy not being first in line for a new one. There are manufacturing and logistical issues with any new product that might affect what you get
