      I have a wall right here if I need to bang my head against something. I don’t know, maybe somebody else reading has the gift of convincing irrational people of things, but I do not.

      I brought it up partly just to vent, and partly for any fence sitters that might be lurking and hadn’t made the connection.

        Have you ever tried screaming at clouds, much safer and sometimes the clouds will flip you off in return.

      They’ve already decided they don’t care for the suffering of other people’s children, the step to not caring about their own isn’t a far one.

        Most people are wired to care about people that are familiar to them, instinctively, so I actually think it is a big step. Antivaxxers, as far as I can tell, genuinely believe the conspiracy theories and snake oil salesmen.
