My mum ended up on a ventilator after getting covid and not taking it seriously because she was brainwashed by my antivaxx sisters. She kept refusing the ventilator until she was actually suffocating. Then my oldest sister actually tried to persuade my dad to have the doctors take my mum off the ventilator because it's all a big conspiracy.
She has a master's in microbiology (or biochemistry, I forget which). There is no depth that stupidity can't reach with some people. She also doesn't believe in soap.
