    This is an oft quoted anti-vax meme and has no connection to reality.

    Here is the truth.

            This woman died because of lies written by around a dozen people and spread by crushingly ignorant people like you. You’re so confident in your stupidity that it’s laughable. We literally don’t care anymore. Take the vaccine, don’t take the vaccine, we don’t care. We’ve moved on from you.

                  I’m familiar with these people. I monitored some of their subs and argued with them a lot. I still don’t like the cheering.

                  When someone dies in a self-defense situation I still dislike cheering on their death. The death of criminals is tragic, too. You can create the situation that causes your demise out of ignorance or stupidity and I’ll still argue nobody should celebrate.

                    I agree and I’m definitely not cheering but when you’re dealing with this kind of smug arrogant hive-minded cultist stupidity it’s easy to sympathize with those who do cheer.

                It’s amazing that you are both crushingly ignorant and absolutely confident. You are the walking talking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

                https://gizmodo.com/online-trolls-actually-just-assholes-all-the-time-stud-1847575210

                Dunning-Kruger Effect is a cognitive bias whereby people who are incompetent at something are unable to recognize their own incompetence. And not only do they fail to recognize their incompetence, they’re also likely to feel confident that they actually are competent. See also @freeindv@monyet.cc
