People are and have been actively trying to engage with these people for years now.
- howaboutnope 5y ago"these people"? "years"? Do it or don't, but don't try to dissuade other people from doing it is all I'm asking. Is that too much to ask?
- krapp 5y agoIf you or anyone else wants to waste their time trying to deprogram fanatics on the internet, go right ahead. But it's a fool's errand. Others have been trying to do that for -yes- years, because anti-vaxx conspiracy theories have been around for a long time. Many people believe that "sunlight is the best disinfectant," and that if you simply approach these people with politeness, empathy and well sourced logic, they will eventually come around. Feel free to try to engage the anti-vaxx community in as many vigorous, Lincoln-Douglas style debates as you like. Just don't say you weren't warned.
