I recently had to block a user on here for spreading harmful disinformation on Covid-19 vaccinations - they claimed that "more people are killed by the vaccine than by guns".
This claim is patently false and easily refuted by looking at the extensive scientific literature on the topic (a sample of which is available here: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html).
Which got me thinking: what motivates people to spread this nonsense?

They fell prey to a political trend then when people argue with them insisting they are wrong they just get more entrenched in their position. If you disagree then you should just be asking non accusing questions not telling them they are wrong. Social media is another reason. If you read anti vax posts or view anti vax you tube videos. That is all you are going to get.
