I’ll never forget the day I decided to go read some NZ anti vax telegram groups to see what they were up to. The funniest thing I saw was someone posting some pics of regular ol clouds, with everyone commenting “omg those clouds look sooo unnatural!!” under it. I definitely saw lots of mentions of everyone dying in a few months/years too, some people are even prepping for it. I’m guessing this is gonna be one of those things where the apocalypse keeps getting pushed forward lol. In addition they were saying that the bad driving back in early Dec (of the sort you usually see before Christmas) was newly vaccinated people going off their rocker. Fascinating, funny and sad all at the same time.

As an autist the ‘vaccines cause autism’ thing always strikes a nerve. It just reeks of eugenics, that autism is the worst thing that could happen to your kid, worse than dying of a preventable illness. I don’t get people who think that way. I’d never give up autism, even if it’s challenging sometimes. It’s just part of my identity.

Also, I actually have an acquaintance who has been posting on fb about not believing in germ theory!! She also posted an article that was talking about how exposing yourself to small pathogens can train your immune system. I guess they meant in a ‘natural’ way but still I thought that was pretty funny.

Old school peace loving hippies becoming united with right wing white supremacists is one of the things that blows my mind. Many of these types likely don't even see the connection. The fear is very strong in these people!
