A valid enough point, especially in terms of one's own behaviour.

But I guess part of the issue here is that not everyone being critical of the antivax movement is trying to convince them to change.

Many are just venting at them. Some of that will be in frustration at how futile it is trying to convince them of anything they don't already have their minds set on.

Where do you go when the default reply to overwhelming evidence and support by experts in their field is petulant dismissal and pointing fingers at a nebulous and sinister "Them"?

How do you pull someone out of the rabbit hole when they're fighting tooth and nail to go in further?

Great questions and unfortunately I nor does anyone else it seems really has the answer to that.

I can certainly understand the anger and the frustration with covidiots. I'm gone off on a few myself. I just don't do it anymore, because it has obviously gone nowhere.

It seems that all you can really do is be civil and make your arguments as clearly as you can. If the covidiot gets super defensive or aggressive then you just need to walk away and not try to reason with a fool.
