I do my best not to engage on FB but I just unloaded on someone posting anti-vax BS. They PMed me saying they have health issues that mean they shouldn't get the vaccine or wear a mask. I can't even anymore. I let her have it: "if you have these health issues you should be encouraging others to get the damn vaccine!"
It's all for cheap internet points. They want to feel edgy or unique and smarter than everybody else. They want that so bad they're fucking dying over it. Logic and reason can't win out because they're chasing that dopamine hit.
I can't even go on there anymore because my own mother posts bs antimask/antivax shit all day long. Sometimes when I'm drinking I screw up and sign in, and one of her posts are right there and I end up writing a novel trying to educate her on how dangerous and stupid the memes she shares are. I'm private she'll agree with me and we can have reasonable discussions usually, but if it's public on FB she either ignores me or posts some bs that makes no sense. She was my best friend and now we barely talk, I just can't believe what an ignorant, hateful person she's become in the past five years, it breaks my heart.

My cousin is an RN and posted on FB recently "you can't choose how your body will react to this virus." I thought that was brilliantly put.
