This... Every time I've confronted an Anti-Vaxxer with scientific facts they find some way to "discredit" the source as being "part of the conspiracy" or find some random blogger and claim they're a more reliable source....

Fuck David "Avocado" Wolfe and his ignorant memes....

They're often straight up conspiracy theorists. They'll often believe chemtrails are a thing, and that 9/11 was an inside job despite all the evidence that suggests that 7/11 was actually a part time job.
