If their agenda was simply that they're protesting the perceived loss of their rights with respect to the federal transportation vaccination policies, I'd listen to what they have to say. I might not agree with them, but I respect their right to voice their opinion in a peaceful protest.

But it's not just the vaccination policy for cross border travel that some of them are demonstrating against.

They lose me immediately and permanently if they start tossing in conspiracy theories, American politics, racism, homophobia, and opining that the vaccine is harmful.

"I'm going to lose my job, or some of my colleagues are going to lose theirs because of the international travel vaccine policy and that's what I'm protesting about" Ok. I'd think they should just get the vaccine and get on with life. Or they need a new advisor. But whatever. We have a right to do exactly that.

"The vaccine kills" or January 6 or Fauci. I'm done listening after one sentence.
