I did not say everyone of them, I said everyone that I personally came across. I do not swim in antivaxxers. Are we testing our bs powers?

- eloisius 6y agoWhen I said "every one of _them_" I was referring to every one of them that you have met. Not implying that you meant all of them in existence. I'm surprised by your experience, because growing up in an Evangelical community in the south anti-vaxxers were a dime a dozen, but I've never met anyone whose children were harmed by vaccines.
- jacobr1 6y agoPossible a timing/age issue. When I first encountered the antivaxers, it was in the late 90s with parents of children on the autistic spectrum grasping at whatever cause they could. Now it is pretty much just the kind of people that are attracted to ideas like climate skepticism or crystal healing. And they all have a bogeyman like evil corporations or the government.
- AzzieElbab 6y agoThat is exactly it.
- AzzieElbab 6y agoOh interesting. I don’t know many religious people. I grew up in the USSR.
- varjag 6y agoMuch of the former USSR is the domain of superstitious and religious. Antivaxx is also mainstream there.
- AzzieElbab 6y agoMaybe, but back then we never even thought about it. Some shots we have taken actually leave scars.
