Yes but they’re not just lying about vaccines though, they are LYING ABOUT COVID. If you are not masking everywhere you can right now during an active and ongoing pandemic you have bought into those lies, just as others have bought into climate denialism lies etc.

The world feels emptier having lost a brilliant writer & philosopher, @helendecruz.net - a strong & prescient voice on Covid too. I truly enjoyed this read👇🏼

So ok, here’s the deal. We’ve been skating on the fact that we had a massive summer wave last year, one of the biggest we’ve ever had. Since then, no new strain really took over, so people who got sick last year have been coasting on limited immunity to that strain. That’s about to change.
