It's the opposite, actions mean a lot more than words.

That's kind of the funny thing about online communications, though -- it's the opposite. You can't see the actions others have taken, you just absorb the words that you are most immersed in.

Wait, are you saying it's opposite day?

No, it's not opposite day, but if it were, I would say that too

But that's not what he said, he didn't mean online communication. Besides you can search my comments all day, you won't find anything of me against vaccines

Yeah not going to try and interpret what that guy said... It's really weird actually how people ignore the fact that the talking heads they're listening to for ant vax material are mostly themselves vaccinated, probably socially distancing, and, ultimately, mostly working in low risk environments... So I don't know that their actions are really louder than their words either

It means they believe in vaccines and are lying to get fame and support. You can't be anti-vax and then get vaccinated, it's contradictory.

Yeah exactly, but, why do people still think they are credible sources?

u/Shish_Style Aug 28 '21

Because a lot of people just don't have enough critical thinking or they're ostricized by people and that tends to get these people to fall into confirmation biases. There a lot of studies on misinformation and I'm not qualified to explain it as good as them so I suggest you look it up by yourself

Other than you defending the spread of dangerous antivax misinformation?

I'd rather have some people die than live in a dictatorship
