Your comment does nothing but make people angry. It's not helping anything, and will not change the behavior of anyone. When you insult someone, you only make enemies for yourself, and that's nothing to be proud of.
Take some time and think about what you write and how it can realistically affect the world. Would you not rather make a positive contribution, and improve social media?
Making these people think their crackpot kook shit is a respected viewpoint that they can bring to the table as an equal and respectable standing is the reason this shit was spread so far and so pervasively.
Its not a real stance. Its not a respectable opinion. It is killing people.
You are coddling and fostering anti vax acceptance by treating it as anything other than what it is. If you want to lecture someone about affecting the world, look in a mirror. Youre giving this shit a seat at your table, so it can kill the people eating there.
You want a positive improvement to social media? Do not make anti vax idiots welcome. They do not need more help spreading this garbage.
