What Do You Say To Anti Vaxxers?

[fromtia]

Serious question. I know what I want to say to people who are somewhere on the spectrum of anti vaccine ideology, but I'm refraining from doing so as I don't think it will help lead them out of their misguided position. I'm asking you all this question before I say anything to my colleagues at work, many of whom are vocal opponents of taking any of the vaccines for the current corona virus.

I know where a lot of my colleagues fall politically and the conservative "movement" is now reliably anti vaccine to a greater or lesser extent but in my workplace other anti vaccination types are well represented. Less obviously right wing conspiracy theories, theories about experiments on black people and so on and so forth.

I've been loudly mentioning that I'm thrilled that my father will be getting vaccinated today and I've had some pretty negative responses. Lots of genuinely impressed ones and happy ones, but really a lot of cuckoo-bananas horse shit responses.

In a spirit of trying to encourage people to take public health seriously, how should I respond?

Nothing, I don't normally talk to people when I'm kicking them in nuts.

"Avaunt! Whey-faced loons!" 

[Richard Hakluyt]

Well Pence got vaccinated; or is he also part of the vast post-modern marxist conspiracy?

[Darth Wagtaros]

Tell them they are true patriots for not falling for the looney leftist autism injections.

[Crazy_Ivan80]

tell them your stocks in companies that sell small coffins are rising.

English law-talkers, is assault legal?

Depends on the branch of lunacy and how deep they are.
Life is chemicals does it for me.

Don't think I actually know anyone. Doubtless absolute tonnes from school on Facebook if I checked though

I'm counting on the anti vaxxers letting me get vaccinated a lot sooner than I would otherwise.

When my sister starts on her anti-vaxx stuff I just comment how selfish her position is, relying on others to get vaccinated to protect her and her family.  She gets off the topic immediately.

She probably isn't being selfish, just stupid.

She is absolutely being selfish.

She's being both.  Just like the "face diaper" brigade.

I will get vaccinated myself.  What other people want to do is their own business, so long as they don't meddle with mine.  I have nothing to say to them.
