    I frequently say that I have no expectation of changing the minds of the conspiracy mongers, most of whom are unpersuadable, but rather that I hope to inoculate those who might be susceptible to a conspiracy theory with information that will make them less susceptible to it.

        I have to believe trying is worth it. Literally. I have to believe some people learn. I don’t want to have no faith in humanity.

        It's a matter of time management. The true believers who might have a germ of a doubt that can be stoked take so much effort to work on. Working on a single one is exhausting That effort is much better directed at those who can be inoculated against misinformation.

        My experience as a former cult member (Moonies) is that people who are zealous for idiocy often harbor secret doubts and you can never be sure whether or not someone is taking your words seriously, even as they reject them.

        That is 100% the way to deal with trolls. In your mind, the audience needs to be everyone who's watching the conversation, not the troll. That also helps you keep an even tone, regardless of how offensive the troll becomes.

        Articles like this are sobering. All you can do is keep pushing for the truth.https://www.miamiherald.com/news/coronavirus/article242547076.html …

        Anti-vaccine activists have been around since vaccines were created. They didn't just pop up when the MMR vaccine was rolled out. A disease this deadly will take some out of the anti group momentarily- just enough to ensure their family members get vaccinated, before they go back

        I didnt vaccinate for 12 years and I changed my mind. I am sharing my journey and confessing my sins on my twitter. I wrote an article for @MomVaccine and have 5 confessions so far.

        I think it’s important to teach the young to decipher fact from fiction...I’m afraid many boomers are a lost cause😷
