Tin Foil Hatter's- Anti Vaxer's



A lad at work who is a propper tin foiler. He's morbidly obese and is just an all round mess is adamant he won't have it and that the government will be controlling us via the vaccine passports, and he talks to me as if I'm the daft one. Apart from work he rarely leaves the house so not being able to do stuff without a vaccine won't bother him one little bit.

I’m 30 and the majority of my social circle and work colleagues are roughly the same age.

I’ve got 1 mate who isn’t an absolute conspiracy nutter but he keeps putting the odd questionable post in our group chat and saying things like ‘makes you think?’ He’ll get it when he’s called to though. Spent years in the army being jabbed with stuff and he’s fine so probably desensitised him.

My nan decided she wasn’t having it, some of my cousins are complete idiots and had filled her head with some shite I imagine, she’s a reasonable woman and once some of us more sensible had a chat she had it, be due her second one soon.

Everyone else I know seems to be fine with it. I see the odd whackadoodle post on here and on Facey but they’re far from the norm.

They opened up the phone lines for the over 90 folk here in BC today and had 1.7 million calls in 3 hours - I have no f***ing idea who was calling as the entire province only has 5 million folk in it!!

So it seems pretty popular here

So many people seem to have that attitude. “I’ve not seen it with my own eyes so I dont believe it”.
And usually it’s in tandem with thinking the vaccine isn’t fully tested and changes your dna or has a bill gates microchip in it.
Thankfully a small minority.
No one has ever directly observed an electron but I imagine they're quite comfortable switching on the TV.

They shouldn't be allowed access to anything sharper than a spoon.
 
My partners mam is a total fruit loop in this and almost every other regard. Horrid and thick woman. 5G causes the virus... no it’s the Illuminati... no the virus is real but it’s just like flu... the virus is real but I won’t get a vaccine because it causes XYZ... no I won’t get the vaccine because it has a microchip... bill gates.

Also holds beliefs such as the Queen is a lizard, her mate can talk to aliens, is a level 2 reiki practitioner, regularly visits mediums and gets her astrology charts done.

Basically if you present a logical argument to her she will refute it. Usually because of “feelings” or her “senses”. If you present deranged ramblings she laps it up.

I used to find it somewhat amusing but have come to the view she is mentally unwell, has some form of personality disorder, is thick as a plank of wood and is more dangerous than she is amusing.

Im all for people holding weird beliefs and probably hold some myself, but the vaccine / covid stuff is lazy and indicative of being a total thicko.
Plenty of people think like this atm. It’s frustrating as fuck. I blame YouTube and Facebook.

Got two mates who won't have a vaccine, one late 30s the other early 40s. Everyone else I know wants it as soon as possible.

The two who wont have it are both into conspiracy theories, one of them only recently conceded we landed on the moon, but not in '69, it happened much later apparently! Wouldn't be so bad if they just decided it wasn't for them and moved on but they seem to have to tell everyone they can they wont be having it.

Both took the piss about social distancing and wont wear masks, both ignored the lockdowns and just cracked on as normal, as yet they don't seem to have had the virus or passed it on to anyone around them so in their eyes they 'did it right'.

Six older relatives have already had it, 2 Pfizer and 4 AZ, they all said they were not 100% afterwards but a cup of tea and an early night was enough to sort out that out. One of the Pfizers had a sore arm for a week.

Seems to be a lot of unemployed/lower class people from what I’ve seen. Lack of education and mental health problems, probably.

It’s a selfish mentality as well. “I’m not getting a vaccine for the current pandemic virus killing people every day” basically translates to fuck everyone else IMO.

It’s proven to stop serious illnesses, it’s proven to be safe, and it’s probably a safe bet to assume it massively reduces transmission. If you’re still not getting the vaccine at this point then I think society is better off without you.

With the greatest of respect how has it been proved to be safe, the trials don't end until 2023? I do realise the mould is there to be broken but your claim, at this point, can not possibly be confirmed.

Did the foilers object to any other vaccinations since they were born?
I'm not a foiler but no, never even crossed my mind about ten months back. Quite clearly it's the haste of this one that is the problem. Ruled out this 5G business and Billl Gates micro chips pretty early on.

Coincidentally it's the only one where social media nutters have gone into over drive.

You're concerned with the haste but also demanding restrictions are lifted immediately.

Have you got kids that have contact with her?
