That's why I don't talk to antovaxxers. They are crazy
I have an antivax coworker who is also virulently anti-immigrant. Her main reason for being anti-immigrant is that she thinks immigrants are unvaccinated and bring diseases into this country. When she told me this I was too busy looking for my jaw on the ground to try and argue with her. She is exactly as unpleasant and ugly as you would imagine.
I used to work with an sntivaxxer nurse. She uses "religion exempt" to exempt all she and her kids from vaccines and she is a nurse!
Gee, they might die from a preventable disease. Sad for the kids who have no choice.
That's smart.The probability any given antivaxxer might end up shooting you is still low, but I'd wager it's several orders of magnitude higher than if you disagreed with any other type of person on a similar subject.
I try to get in real good with the antivaxxers in my life, just in case. Like the people who thank AI.
it’s much less lower than the odds of getting murdered by a cop because you spoke to them.
How do you know? You never been to Texas and Florida where many antovaxxers also carry guns? They are short fused and they hate to be corrected.
When you see a crazy person walking down the street, you just want to stay away from them
odds are formed after knowledge is had - tell me the last time you saw news of an antivax murder spree? Compare that to how often we hear of cops murdering during “no knock” raids. or traffic stops. or protests. or because they confused pistol and taser… etc.
Here, it is all on the news recently. Multiple people died
