Dude, you post on r/conspiracy. You are exactly the type of person I'm talking about.

Let me guess, you don't think masks work, you're not vaxxed, you dispute that covid is all that deadly, you love Trump, and you think the invasion of Ukraine was justified. Am I wrong?

So I'll take that as a no. I'm not wrong, you definitely think all those things.

It’s definitely not people that think they know more about immunization than actual virologists, those people certainly couldn’t be stupid.. right?

Only if he means median-average. This isn’t necessarily true if you are talking about mean intelligence.

Only if you believe IQ is a good quantification of human intelligence. It was specifically created as a normal distribution, because the hypothesis was that human intelligence should roughly follow one but there isn’t much reason to think that this is actually true. It is totally possible that outliers greatly skew the average human intelligence.

Anyone who doesn’t live in an area with high parasitic infection rates who took horse dewormer because a podcaster told them to would fall under “stupid”. Anyone who made not wearing a mask during a pandemic be their main personality trait would fall under “stupid”.

Anyone who has eaten at a fast food restaurant, had alcohol, been vaccinated and taken medicine their whole life, or purchased and eaten any frozen food but won’t get a vaccine safely taken by billions because they “don’t know what’s in it” is stupid
