Yeah, I disagree, the unvaccinated are just as credulous as the triple vaxxed. The pandemic lies were so obvious anyone with their eyes open could see them, though people were controlled by fear, constant repitition and needing to conform. Many were vaccinated, reluctantly, so that they could go on holiday or not lose their jobs.

The unvaccinated rebels were immediately targeted with climate change denial, sinophobia, the scorning of vegans and environmentalists and a left-wing conspiracy trying to stop us eating meat or using oil.

And I'd say 99% of them fell for it.

The pathologising of dissent occurs in the unvaccinated groups as well. If you don't follow the party line of the half (or rather sliver) of truth media- that there's a global conspiracy using (faked or geo-engineered) climate change to control us- you are not welcome and you will be blocked. https://jowaller.substack.com/p/the-half-truth-media?utm_source=publication-search

Naomi Oreskes author of Merchants of doudt and climate scientist John Cook have written a paper about Trump supporters being more likely to be unvaccinated and therefore ill. It has nothing whatsoever to do with scientific study https://jowaller.substack.com/p/those-linking-climate-misinformation

I am an anomaly then I suppose, since I am a thrice vaxxed Canadian who is against the war and sending lethal aid to Ukraine; I believe Assange is a hero for exposing American war crimes; I am against censorship by silicon valley or anyone else; I believe NATO exists to sell weapons and needs war as a raison-d’être; I believe Israel is an Apartheid state because I oppose racism so it logically follows that I cannot be anti-semitic.

I don’t believe in forcing people to get vaccinated but I think vaccinations are a wonder of modern science and do save lives. Libertarians do themselves and others a disservice by blurring that reality.

I think you may have put your finger on a frightening new trend (painting political opponents as mental patients).

There was a time when I chuckled at the antics of liberals though I myself am center/left leaning. They now scare me
