Disgust is my first reaction too, for what it's worth, but it isn't worth much. I've been trying to assemble my thoughts to write about this phenomenon, but I can't yet understand--*really* understand--what's behind this worldview. I wish the interviewer had asked this:

1. Do you believe Covid19 is real?
2. If not, have you tried to confirm this by going to hospitals and looking for Covid patients? By asking people you know if they've had it, or know someone who has? How many did you ask?
3? If not, what makes you think it's not real?

4. If you think it's real, why wouldn't you wish to take measures to stop its spread?
5. If you don't think these measures reduce the risk of spreading it, why not?
6. How do you explain why your views diverge so sharply with those of people who deal with this disease daily?

7. How do you understand disease, generally? Do you think there's such a thing as an infectious disease? What do you think causes infectious disease?
8. What information would cause you to change your mind about Covid's existence or the utility of measures such as vaccinations?

If I have any followers out there whose views are similar to theirs, let me know how you'd answer those questions.
