Even if you support vaccines but are opposed to the government mandating them, Merriam Webster considers you an anti-vaxxer. With that definition, the Brits are looking for ways to โderadicalizeโ hardened anti-vaxxers as if they were โterrorists.โ
The Independentย interviewedย one expert who is advocating for โde-radicalizingโ people who refuse the vaccine.
Professor Stephan Lewandowsky, chair in cognitive psychology at the University of Bristol, who needs some serious mental help himself, thinks that those who refuse to take the jab are batsh*t crazy lunatics, who think Hilary Clinton is a lizard.
So silly. Hillaryโs not a lizard, sheโs a weasel but read on. This guyโs not joking.
He told the PA news agency: โTheyโll refuse anything โ โIโm not going to wear a maskโ, โIโm not going to get vaccinatedโ, โI donโt think climate change is happeningโ, โCovid is a hoaxโ, and, you know, โHillary Clintonย is actually a reptilian shapeshifter,โ he told the Independent.
โYouโre getting to people who hold a cluster of very exotic beliefs โ now, theyโre very difficult to reach,โ he continued.
Itโs exotic to not want government bureaucrats to force drugs into our bodies?
Lewandowsky called this faction of folks who choose not to take the jab, โhardcore refuseniksโ who cannot be reached through conventional means. He concludes that they need to be treated like cult members or terrorists.
โIn the ideal world, time and money permitting, you can engage even those people in a very slow, long-term process where you affirm their right to have those beliefsโฆ rather than telling them something about themselves they donโt want to hear, letโs put it that way,โ he said.
Well, at least he thinks thereโs hope for us, but we donโt think thereโs much for him.
