31:14Now PlayingUnlike anti-vaxxing, vaccine hesitancy is legitimate but beware: information is not knowledge, critical thinking and misinformation, research is not hoarding. Virulent confluence of conspiracy theories and victimhood movements.
Conspiracy theorists such as anti-vaxxers are mentally ill: conspiracism and pareidolia, paranoid ideation, anxiety, depression, Delusionality and impaired reality testing, grandiosity and anti-intellectualism (truthiness, anti-expertise, malignant egalitarianism, sacred body), contumacious defiance.
Fear to speak out against anti-vaxxers: political correctness/woke, hijacking of activism by narcissists and psychopaths.
