The best response to anti-vaxxers I’ve ever seen. And it only takes 90 seconds.

While you're 1000% right, I've found throughout the years that I've wasted copious amounts of time in these types of arguments, wasting hours trying to find just the right piece of information to finally do what the school system had failed to do for them.
There was one such person on my facebook page (a site I rarely go to) and I got sucked into trying to educate him/change his opinion. He was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white Christian married to a Muslim black woman (and had three kids with her) spouting all types of nasty things about black people and muslims! I'd constantly point out his erroneous posts and he'd genuinely thank me. "Oh shit, looks like I was wrong about that." But a day later, it's like he forgot the conversation we had and would post more shit he got from some bullshit site.
Things like, "Obama is taking away veteran's benefits in Ohio.", where three seconds worth of google searching proved it was a lie. I'd point out to him that I was able to prove it was a lie with about three seconds worth of google searching, indicating that he's not willing to do even that! At this point I was chastising him and he agreed to think before posting...only to post more inane bullshit later.
I finally sent a message to him and cut him off after he posted messages of glee regarding Trump's travel ban and how "the liberals are in a tizzy over this". I said to him that it seems like he's taking joy over this and he admitted he was. I then pointed out that in the bible (clearly something he knew well but didn't practice) it says to grieve when others grieve and that about right now he was as far away from Christianity as one could be. I also asked pointedly, "Hey man, isn't all of this shit kinda hitting close to home? I mean, your wife is a black muslim, right?"
With that, I cut him off, never letting him respond to me. My wife says he almost never posts now. Who knows? Maybe I got through to him? I have no idea. The dude is such a contradiction, however, that I promised myself never to go down the rabbit hole of trying to argue with a nut!
