I'd say there is some rational middle ground, and over reactions on each side. Personally I'm sympathetic to people who are hesitant about getting a new vaccine. But I'd consider any sort of conspiracy theory to be irrational. (Though I think you miss the point that many people don't agree with someone else telling them what medical treatment to take, but rather than articulate that will cling to less sound arguments and when these are debunked fall back to another, which is I think what you're seeing). But I'm sure there are people who harbor some irrational fear of vaccines or unsupported thoughts about how they work At the same time, there are also people who have gone crazy with covid fear, and believe no ritual is over the top to protect themselves or to signal to others. People walking alone with nobody around wearing a mask, people taking hand sanitizing to extremes, people who insist we all get vaccinated but also continue to wear masks, people who think their healthy kids should wear masks at school, and as I'm inferring from the post, people who despite an infinitesimal risk still want to have a say in what others do and worry about "safely" visiting or whatever. The original post is just as crazy as people worring about side effects from vaccines, which is my point.
