They are citing ONS figures of excess deaths as proof the vaccines are killing people. I tried to explain that not being able to get a doctor’s appointment, staying home and getting fat, etc explain the figures (official sources have said it too) but they said it’s “gaslighting” and then said their family doctor wouldn’t get the vaccine.

    What’s the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?

    “You are a fucking idiot” usually does the job.

      “That is a fucking idiotic idea.”

      Attacks the idea, not the person. Probably will be the same result, because they probably were a fucking idiot to believe that stuff, and they are very attached to stupid ideas.

        Well anti-vax are idiots so there is that.

        Precisely. If someone is an idiot, they won’t understand the difference anyway.
