Another one of the ones peddling it is my older brother. Who I know for a fact graduated high school, and therefore knows how the immune system works.
Even so I still tried. I sat with my dad (and later on talked to my brother over the phone) and explained from the beginning how the immune system works, what viruses and diseases how and how they invade, that vaccines are in fact a sterilized dosage of a disease, etc. Trying to make it
very clear just so they can understand how they are getting misinformed.
The problem is trying to cram an entire lecture into a 5 minute conversation with people who get bored with all the science terms 30 seconds in. It’s particularly difficult since they both are relying on the “vaccines aren’t 100% effective” argument even though
that’s not how vaccines or your immune system works. Especially a problem with my dad as he’s now saying that he already has Covid antibodies so a vaccine won’t do any more for him (hint: They still will).
