US was warned of threat from anti-vaxxers in event of pandemic | US news

There is a young guy at my work who went into a whole thing about how Vaccines can change your brain chemistry. He believes there will be a shot to "cure criminals" one day, his explanation is basically "they can give you a shot to change the way your liver works right, so why can't they do that with your brain". In his mind, the anti-vaxxers are just being well informed cautious people who look at "all the information". He thinks some of the vaccines have caused autism but we just don't understand why yet.

It's literally hard to have a conversation because anything "normal" you try to tell them can just be dismissed as "well that's what they say". 10 minutes later in the conversation i'm explaining how "the government" is separated into 3 different branches which at first he thought was the marines, air force, and navy. That's when i realized this 22 year old who was home schooled was too stupid to have an opinion worth my time.

Most time, these people are really dumb and nobody wants to take the time to teach them what is correct in the world.
