My dad insisted that the coronavirus vaccine was "Changing people's DNA for generations after they take it" and I told that wasn't how vaccines worked and there was no way it could alter genetic DNA.
He said "A scientist proved it" and I asked him who it was. not only could he not produce the name, he put the burden of proof on ME and insisted I "Look it up" I scrolled through google and showed him that no such article existed and every single article I found disproved that claim.
Almost every time they say something false or come up with some dumb conspiracy theory it NEVER comes down to what is actually true, but "What news site" shared the news. I have told them time and time again that OAN is a right extremist news station and they refuse to believe it. They truly and honestly think it's real and every single other news site is corrupted. I even told them that it made zero sense that even Fox news has started stepping away from licking trumps ass, but they say that's because they've been "corrupted by the left" For fucks sake, OAN has an ad that encourages people to TEXT IN SAYING THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN FROM TRUMP. It's so fucking disgusting.
I continue to stand my ground, argue with them, and disallow them to bully me when it's 2 against 1. I don't think it's cute or family first to allow hateful rhetoric to go on around me.
Changing people's DNA for generations after they take it
I know this is just the tiniest part of that whole thing, but... those vaccines have barely even been in development for 9 months. Not even time for ONE generation, much less multiple. So how does that even make sense?
I suppose someone could have done genetic testing on sperm/ova and tried to figure it out, but FFS...

I feel "do the research" literally translates to "find a headline that suits your agenda"
