Just booed & thumbsdowned a parade of antivaxxers in Vancouver. They were as kind and civil as you would imagine 😜

To be fair I'm dressed like this so I gave them a lot to work with.

Here's the crust of what they shouted at me:

1) "what are you afraid of?"

A. People dying needlessly to a preventable disease where common infection techniques like vaccination and mitigation work.

2) "why do you hate freedom?"

I LOVE freedom! Especially the freedom to live my life and not be infected by a preventable disease that has safe prevention strategies. I care about the freedom of disabled people being able to go to the grocery store again.

3) "do you know you're just a sheep?"

Well I'm not the one being herded down a street chanting cultish phrases...

4) oh you care about health why are you drinking a "big gulp"? (I guess this is the lamest form of improv)

Hey I loves me some Pepsi zero and my drinking it is not communicable.

5) you want people to die from vaccines?

Hey any outcome you are worried about with vaccines is a million times worse with covid, at any age.

All in all they were lame cowards. A few mocked my clothes to which I just said "hey I dress silly it's not like you where it's my whole persona"

For people who use the word "triggered" at an insult me holding a thumbs down and saying "boooo" was really hurtful for them.
