    All conspiracies but antivax struggle with the common question: if the conspiracy is true, why should you do what you are doing?

    Antivax in this weird sense is adequate. If vaccines are engineered in order to shrink the population, you shouldn’t give a shot to your kid.

      But they also think the viruses are engineered to shrink the population, so they should be masking up, but they refuse to, so there’s nothing adequate about it

        My favorite episode with them happened in Russia. There was an internet community “Leave us alone” that was simultaneously pro-Putin and opposed COVID restrictions. Then, in February 2022 they supported the war in Ukraine. But when the draft process started, the community got renamed to only include the leader name (Mashkova). Naturally, they were supporting the draft.
