I doubt a single one of the COVID conspiracy theory nutters out there could even answer this quiz, and this is just the basic level.

@freemo I didn't know I needed qualifications to decide if I want to buy a product or not.

@Eris You dont. But you do need to understand a topic if you expect to state facts about said topic.

@Eris Thanks for proving my point, that people too stupid to pass the above test will also be too stupid to assert actual facts correctly.

@freemo Your only point seems to be vague condescension against anything contradicting you.
If it's not a fact, say how. If you can't say how, I'll assume you're full of shit.

@Eris I've addressed this topic in detail dozens of times on my time line. Every time the anti-vax morons just spew nonsense and ignore or arent smart enough to comprehend the reality. So yes at this point I stopped putting int he effort because its a waste of my time.

@freemo @Eris why do you invite further discussion if ur intention is to simply ignore it where it doesn't agree with ur existing stance

@Oblivia

I didnt invite further discussion. Quite the opposite. The OP shows the basic level of knowledge a person needs to have before even approaching the subject, of which most anti-vaxers dont have. So it explicitly suggests people unable to pass the test DONT discuss it, the opposite of inviting it.

@Eris

@freemo @Eris um yeah u did, the post is public, topical, and u seem willing to actively respond to its replies, how is this not an open invitation to discuss the subject

@Oblivia

You seem to be confusing "an open invitation" with.. "something likely to provoke responses".. not the same thing. I have no issue putting in the low effort of calling someone an idiot if they decide to respond anyway (which is expected).. takes no time out of my day.

@Eris

@freemo @Oblivia
>I have no issue putting in the low effort
You do seem to have an issue with putting in effort thougj. Curious.
Follow

@Eris

Nah, I've put in high effort responses dozens of times int he past. Some were with people it was a waste of time with. Some actually had enough knowledge and understanding for it to be worthwhile.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia Just telling us that you are capable of reason in the abstract somewhere else where we can't see it doesn't actually boost your credibility. It damages it. It makes you seem like you're not capable of it, but want to seem like you are.
Trying to offer excuses not to be reasonable is literally always a losing move.

@Eris

Agreed. I do not expect nor claim to have made any sort of argument to suggest I should be trusted here. I more than happy to just point out the stupidity and move on.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia You explicitly attribute the responsibility for deaths to anti-vaccine rhetoric. Are you telling me that you believe these people are responsible for mass murder, but that you're okay with that and it should be legal? Very weird mixture of opinions there buddy.

@Eris

Yes it results in mass murder. No I am not ok with it. Not being ok with it does not mean I think it should be against the law though. The law should not reflect morality as far as I'm concerned.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia

>Yes it results in mass murder. No I am not ok with it. Not being ok with it does not mean I think it should be against the law though.
This is the most insane fucking nonsense I have ever read in my entire life.
Mass murder should be legal.
Holy shit dude.

@Eris

Yup, it should be, because intent is 4/5ths of the law as they say. Commiting mass murder but not intending to, or even knowing your doing it, is perfectly legal, and im ok with that.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia That would be mass manslaughter. Mass manslaughter is (and should be) also illegal.
Your argument is so incoherent that in order to try to main some semblance of consistency you have contorted yourself into saying absolutely ridiculous things dude.
