      This is the excuse conspiracy theorists sometimes make when they are called out for pushing dangerous BS. Antivax conspiracy theories are not “harmless fun.” #COVID19 conspiracy theories are not “harmless fun.” They have real world consequences and cause real harm to real people.https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1285756717356261381 …

      Most “conspiracy content” is just harmless fun, or at least a distraction from heavy shit. They are intent on making our world joyless.

      Well, hang on... where do antivax conspiracies come from? It's not out of desire to harm. It's because the pharma industry and government have squandered their credibility with the public in so many ways. It's an expression of that institutional failure.

      Vaccines have a really good track record, if anyone can be bothered to look. They are exhaustively tested for safety and efficacy. Individually and in combination with other vaccines.

      Motives matter far less than results, and the results of antivax conspiracy theories have been horrible.

          Moreover, a lot of the antivax narrative has been promoted by grift benefiting grifters like Andy Wakefield and @delbigtree, for example.

          Seriously, only the hopelessly naive (or fellow grifters) ignore the role of grift in promoting antivaccine conspiracy theories.
