I finally met up with a guy I knocked about with some years ago. I heard he'd gone Anti vax and it wasn't a total surprise. A decent enough guy, he has always loved his conspiracies. We disagreed amicably on the subject but I could not get a sensible argument from him.
Re masks, I asked where the harm is in making others feel a bit more safe? No real answer other than some garbled thing about muzzles.
Re the vaccine. I asked him the difference between this time last year (widespread cases reported and heading into lengthy lockdown), and this year (widespread cases reported, everything open with no apparent closures imminent)? This led to a speech about "sheeples", "they"- they appeared a lot during the conversation, plus all the people that have apparently been killed or maimed by the vaccines (apparently they are ALL dangerous). Further he went on to tell me Covid is the same as a cold and it can easily be cured by a medicine called Ivermectine. I couldn't argue with that last one so I googled it when I got home. Worrying!
I have a fairly open mind so wanted to hear the counter argument but there really wasn't one. One thing I will add though. This guy, and his friends, have been on pretty much every "Freedom" march possible since the start of this. While I don't wish harm on any of them, they haven't caught a bloody sniffle! Work that out!
