It's terrifying how fast vaccine skepticism has spread through the population, and how uninterested liberals are in counteracting it in any meaningful concerted manner.
seen several write-ups (and I think BE, whatever you think of him, just released a video on this too recently) that argue that liberals can't actually combat conspiracy theories like this because they arise from the difference in the propaganda they spew and the reality that people can actually see in their own lives, and so they come up with all these conspiracy theories as a result to cope. Think that explains most of it.
Edit: not really much of a write up, but this is the first thing I found searching through "conspiracy" on lemmygrad so you can at least know I'm not making up people writing about this: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/197287
Who is BE? Could you send me a link to the video or one of the articles?
bad empanada. I'm hesitant to link any videos from him because a lot of people dislike him because of his behavior online (I think the most generous description of how he acts outside of his main YT channel is "complete asshole") and his position on China and Xinjang
Ahh ok thanks!
