Cueball: I hate that people are working so hard to make it complicated when it’s one of the few things in this world that isn’t.
Antivaxxers are the same nutjobs who have now latched on to the muh ayylmao congressional testimony. The same people who shat on one authority figure (Fauci etc.) are now worshipping another (Grusch).
Because the one authority says to trust in science and it is complicated. The other authority says to just follow his gut and you dont need to bother with logic anyways because fuck nerds. Also you are so smart for listening to it and all the other people are dumb.
So of course the idiots like to listen to the second one.
